Lladró is a Spanish company based in Tavernes Blanques, Valencia that produces high quality porcelain figures.
History
The company was founded in
1953 by three brothers, Juan, José and Vicente Lladró, in the village of
Almácera near Valencia. Starting with items such as vases and jugs, it wasn't until
1956 that they started producing the scupltures for which they are now most famous. Enthusiasm for the items produced by the Lladró brothers saw their small workshop expand several times until eventually they moved to Tavernes Blanques in
1958.
- 1962, the brothers open the Professional Training School at their site in Tavernes Blanques to share their knowledge and experience. It still operates today keeping alive the vision and philosophy of the brothers by imparting it to a new generation.
