Since 1951, the Lladro brothers have been creating some of the
most exquisitely beautiful porcelain figurines in the world. It
was in the small village of Almácera, not far from the town of
Valencia, in Spain, that the humble brothers started creating
their delicate collectibles. Local customers couldn’t get enough
of the lovely miniatures and it wasn’t long before the demand
for them started internationally. Today Lladro export its
porcelain to more than 100 countries all over the world and the
brothers’ small workshop has turned into the famed Porcelain
City, with a workforce of more than 2000 employees. Porcelain
City is acknowledged as one of the finest porcelain-making
factories in the world.

Lladro figurines are loved and coveted as much for their warmth
and humanity, say collectors, as for the skilled workmanship
evident in their construction. They celebrate the positive side
of life from forms of everyday people and events to images of
the mystery of creation.

The Lladro portfolio continues to grow every year, with new
figurines continually added to the collection, including
special, one-of-a-kind premium items that are snapped up by
eager collectors as soon as they are shipped from Porcelain
City.

Viewing Lladro figurines for the first time, one is beguiled by
their fragile innocence and captivated by the subdued colors
that evoke memories of another, gentler, era. There is an
appealing naivety in the posture and expression of the figures,
but certainly not in their construction and attention to
detail.

Each figurine tells a story, like the Man of the Sea whose
muscles strain as he steers his ship through stormy waters. The
soft, glossily feminine lines of the women in Lladro’s ‘adults’
collection breath life into the small figures - a coy smile, a
swirling skirt, a beckoning hand, a tiny foot peeping from
beneath a dress. The young children and baby Lladro figurines
are delightful in their simplicity and make a charming gift to
be cherished on the birth of a child. Your special Angel from
the ‘ethnic’ collection is a distinctive and popular Lladro
piece and a perfect Christmas-time decoration from a country
steeped in religious history.

The vast Lladro figurine collections include fire-breathing
dragons and other fantasy figures, golf and other sporting
collections, religious and nativity figurines, ethnic figurines
from Asia, Africa and India, animal forms and the popular
Christmas range of figurines.

Porcelain figurines make timeless gifts and will be cherished by
the recipient. Lladro figurines are collectibles to be displayed
and enjoyed, and then passed down from one generation to the
next.
