Lladró
started out as a small artisan workshop in the mid 1950s in Valencia,
Spain. Its founding members are Juan, José and Vicente Lladró, three
brothers born within a humble family.
Today,
all Lladró creations are made in Porcelain City, a complex of artisan
workshops of 100,000 m_ where 2,000 artists work exclusively on the
creation of figurines.
Throughout
its history, Lladró has maintained an entirely hand-made process of
manufacturing. The clay modeled by the sculptor becomes porcelain, and
is later carefully painted before entering the kiln. This is where the
fire miraculously transforms the raw piece into a figurine as fragile as
it is eternal.
Lladró
makes extraordinarily varied pieces offering infinite possibilities for
decor and gifts. Its unmistakable style, without losing the virtues of
the best porcelain from the past, admirably expresses the sensibility of
the present.
