The pieces are finished in the characteristic Lladró pastel palette with a high-glaze sheen. The base of each figurine features a printed blue mark with the Lladró bellflower logo above the words LLADRÓ and HAND MADE IN SPAIN, and the copyright date DAISA 1982.

Both figurines are accompanied by their original Lladró cardboard boxes, which feature factory labels with the model number 05141 and titles in Spanish and English.
