Lladro From Spain

What is Lladro from Spain? Lladro began as a diminutive family workshop during the middle of the 1950's in Almácera, a small agricultural district close to Valencia City on the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. Three brothers, Juan, José, and Vicente started to commit their spare time making ceramics as a way of advancing their vision for the future. The brothers joined the Valencia School of Arts and Crafts, where Vicente obtained sculpture lessons and Juan and José learned painting and drawing.

They practiced the knowledge they gained from their studies through setting up a Moorish-style furnace in their parent's home courtyard. Seeing that their testing became more and more successful, the brothers started to produce and sell their first ceramic flowers on the neighboring market. In the meantime, they had also begun to devise and manufacture their own porcelain figurines.

From the small home factory, the brothers transferred their studio to a nearby town called Tavernes Blanques in 1958. The 1960's brought strong expansion and progress to the factory, where the studio was made seven times bigger, until finally the year 1969 positioned the foundations of what became Porcelain City. Today, the place is the home of Lladro porcelain art.

Lladro from Spain at present has reached all around the world, marketing its products to over one hundred different countries across the globe, with porcelain figurines comprising the biggest and most famous collections of Lladro from Spain. Taking the front stage among there creations, are their soft, bluish hues over a wide-ranging background of pastel hues as well as about four-thousand different shades of porcelain. The usual porcelain figurine collected works are themes of human feelings and sentiments, although there are also fanciful conceptions such as those that depict customs, young lovers, children, pets, and wild animals.

Each stage of the making process of Lladro from Spain figurines is evenly essential as the smallest fault in any of the separate processes can create a serious flaw.
