Lladró

Lladró (Valencian pronunciation: [ʎaˈðɾo]) is a Spanish company based in Tavernes Blanques, Valencia, that produces high-end lighting, home accessories, decorative sculptures and porcelain figurines.

[1][2] The company was founded in 1953 by three brothers, Juán, José and Vicente Lladró, in the village of Almàssera near Valencia.

Interest in the items produced by the Lladró brothers saw their small workshop expand several times until eventually they moved to Tavernes Blanques in 1958.

The process is detailed in a number of Lladró publications and is on view for tours at the City of Porcelain.

An area for some confusion is that the names of the pieces can change throughout their run so the same figurine may end up with several titles.
