While the first generation of their production centered on more functional pieces, Lladró shifted to focus on the figurine in the latter half of the 1950s. The story of Lladró porcelain began in 1953, when three brothers, Juan, José, and Vicente Lladró launched their porcelain company in the Spanish town of Tavernes Blanques, a northeastern suburb of Valencia.
“The most ambitious and elaborate examples are held in museum collections throughout the world for their craftsmanship and design but more importantly as an anthropologic study of mid-20th century value structures.” A Brief History of Lladró Figurines “The childlike figures render moments of antiquity and fiction relatable and modern, or celestial myths humanistic,” says Lauren Pressler, Decorative Arts Specialist at Clars Auction Gallery. With prices anywhere from $500 to $4,000 and beyond, these Lladró porcelain figures are consistently in demand at auction from private collections and public institutions alike. Their endearing subjects make them a favorite among many collectors, and their exquisite craftsmanship has ushered Lladró pieces into the showcases of some of the world’s most prestigious museums. Lladró figurines are world-renowned examples of Spanish porcelain that are universally recognized for their unique beauty.
