Lladro Figurines

While there are a lot of companies out there who specialize in porcelain figurines, few give the detail and variety that Lladro figurines give.

Since the Lladro brothers began making their porcelain pieces in the 1950s, the company has become well known by both collectors and decorators alike who are looking for the perfect accent piece for a room.

Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro began making porcelain jugs and vases in their home furnace in 1953.

It wasn’t until two years later in 1955 that they started making the small porcelain figurines that they would soon be known for around the world.

Demand for these products soon grew and in 1958 the brothers decided to dedicate their crafting time exclusively to these small figurines, which by that time had gained a worldwide presence.

The brothers became well-known for the amount of detail that they gave to their figurines, as well as their ability to make their pieces seem lifelike.

In 1971, they introduced the now famous “Gres” line, which focused on larger sculptures with earth-like tonality and matte finishes, while in 1975 they released their technically-complex “Elite” collection, which included vases and highly praised larger creations.

Throughout all of this, the brothers opened a number a number of training schools, museums, and centers around the world, all with the goal of inspiring both young and old to create artistically.

While they started out creating vases and small figurines, the Lladro brothers, and associates, have moved on to create a truly stunning array of porcelain figurines in nearly every design imaginable.
