The art of porcelain Lladro (pronounced “yadro”) is simply the finest ceramic art in a city famous for its pottery.
The Lladro brothers are artists of great talent, who went from zeroes to heroes. They started in a Valencia ceramic tile factory like many others. In 1953 they built a little Moorish kiln in their backyard and began to create their own visions. Lladro are now a multi-national art community, which has shaken hands of presidents, popes and kings. New York, London, Paris, Moscow and Tokyo, among other places, lay claim to their own Lladro shop.
Strictly speaking, porcelain is not what the ceramics of Valencia really are. However, porcelain is a type of ceramic art and is rooted in the Valencian culture that formed the basis for the world of Lladro.
The Lladro brothers ventured into the world of dreams, innovation and daring: the aesthetics of perfection. Even more traditional pieces seem new and enlightening. Nowadays with an army of talented artists that continue to push the limits of design and vision to create pure art. Lladro has created his own style that everyone employed at the factory, with the exception of some professional designers, have been trained in. There is no other place to learn the ways of Lladro except in the Lladro factory.
