Lladró

The Spanish factory Lladro produces some of the world’s most renowned porcelain and is a recognized leader among contemporary porcelain manufacturers. Nearly 60 years ago, the three Lladro brothers embarked on a challenging journey to world fame, constantly developing and improving at every stage of their production. After mastering the arts of painting, sculpture, and the secrets of porcelain making, they built a small workshop with a kiln in 1945, marking the beginning of a vast production enterprise. Their pursuit of perfection in each piece allowed the brothers to attract and unite the best craftsmen—artists, sculptors, and technicians—into a powerful professional team.

Lladro was the first to produce Spanish porcelain using the innovative single-firing technology developed by the Lladro family. Firing the pieces at 1300°C allowed the material to achieve greater elegance, plasticity, and delicacy. The City of Porcelain has become a significant destination for connoisseurs of porcelain art, drawing true aesthetes from all over the world to witness the birth of Lladro porcelain.

The Lladro creative team initially began by adapting styles from past eras, but it wasn’t long before distinct characteristics emerged, shaping what would soon become the unique Lladro style. Lladro is famous for transforming life into art.
