| The origins of Lladro date back to a small craft workshop built in the mid-1950s in Almacera, near Valencia, Spain.
Driven by their artistic restlessness and the desire for a better life, the three brothers, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro, sought new ways to produce porcelain.
The public was immediately enthusiastic about their creations and in a short time, the small workshop was expanded several times. A growing number of collaborators joined the team and the brothers' work was able to reach even more interested people.
In 1953, the three Lladro brothers start their professional activity in a small workshop in Almacera, a rural village near Valencia, Spain, where pottery has a deep-rooted tradition of great wealth and originality.
In addition to decorative plates, jugs, vases and other gift articles, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro create their first sculptures, born of classical inspiration.
Today, the porcelain sculptures of Lladro are recognized all over the world for an artistic style that is both original and authentic. Taken as a whole, these works form a tranquil universe where the beauty and emotion of human experience are impeccably expressed. |
