Lladro Figurines

Lladro is a spanish company which was formed in 1953 by 3 brothers, Juan, Vincente and Jose Lladro. They began by making various porcelain items such as vases and plates, but around 3 years later they started manufacturing porcelain figurines. It is those famous Lladro figurines that are now collected worldwide. Lladro figurine collectors can be found on all continents and in 1985 the Lladro Collectors Society was formed. Members of the society were privileged to be able to buy the small editions of the annual sculpture which are now worth a lot of money.

Lladro figures are made of hard paste porcelain which gives their recognisable characteristics. The ingredients used in making the figures is a closely kept industry secret. Lladro figures bear various marks dependant on when the figures were made.
