People seem to think online dating is a newer thing, but those of us with some time and experience know that there have always been romances that either got their start or continuation without physical contact. During WWII many of the young men who were in the service were overseas for years, and their letter to and from their wives and sweethearts, sisters, mothers, neighbors and friends of all kinds were what kept spirits up in those difficult times. This figurine entitled Pen friend is a piece that celebrates that tradition. It is in the Young Lovers series of Nao by Lladro collection. Beautifully handcrafted and hand painted by skilled and talented artisans at the Lladro Porcelain Factory in Valencia, Spain, this piece is 12-1/4" tall x 6" wide. Nao figurines by Lladro are beautiful works of art. Each Nao figurine features the same craftsmanship as their Lladro cousins and you are going to be proud to own or to give these fine porcelain items.
