Lladro

Lladró is a famous Spanish label from Tavernes Blanques, Valencia, that deals in luxury home décor accessories like lamps and lightings, porcelain figurines, and decorative sculptures. They are leading designers and manufacturers of porcelain art that highlight contemporary elegance. The company was launched in 1953 in Almàssera village near Valencia by Lladró brothers Juán, José, and Vicente. Initially, the company manufactured articles like jugs, vases, and plates. Three years later, the brothers started producing porcelain sculptures that carried inspiration from the works of Meissen, Sèvres, and Capodimonte porcelain manufacturers from Europe. Lladró sculptures during this period also featured floral adornments and tulle decorations made using virtuoso techniques.

Today, many significant Lladró sculptures for sale feature virtuoso techniques. Lladró sculptures are made from hard-paste porcelain, ingredients of which are highly secret. The company also invented the single-firing method, a revolutionary alternative to replace the traditional triple-firing technique. With this firing technique, the brand was able to introduce distinct pastel shades to their work. Over the years, the company has introduced many iconic collections of porcelain figurines. Their figurines portray detailed designs and pastel colors, and glossy textures. Lladró sculptures, especially figures, depict romanticism and human emotions, which connects their artworks with collectors globally. The highest valued Lladró sculptures for sale include figurines by artist Juan Huerta featuring a family seated in an antique automobile headed for a drive. Another iconic series is The Hunt- a 1974 piece by the luxury porcelain brand that showcases two men on horses with hunting dogs at the bottom.
