Lladró
was founded in 1953 when Juan, José, and Vicente, three
brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great
artistic talent, formed a small family company in the
Valencian village of Almácera, Spain. Since then, Lladró
has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan
workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying
continual growth. The company management has remained in
the hands of the Lladró family, the owners of the firm,
since its inception.
The creative team started out by adapting styles from
past eras, but it was not long before certain
characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was
to become the unique Lladró style.
The origins of Lladró date back to a small craft
workshop built in the mid-1950s in Almácera, near
Valencia, Spain. Driven by their artistic restlessness
and the desire for a better life, the three brothers,
Juan, José and Vicente Lladró, sought new ways to
produce porcelain.
The public was immediately enthusiastic about their
creations and in a short time, the small workshop was
expanded several times. A growing number of
collaborators joined the team and the brothers’ work was
able to reach even more interested people. Today, the
sculptures born in the City of Porcelain are exported to
more than 120 countries.
What most moves those who admire artistic porcelain is
the human message - the warmth and sensitivity emanated
by Lladró creations.
A tender tribute to
the music of jazz, the Afro-american art form born in
New Orleans.
The saxophonist in this figurine could remind one of the
great Ornette Coleman, or perhaps Albert Ayler. It
represents the cool and verve of a grand collection of
instrumentalists whose blue notes have sent out good
vibrations to generations of music lovers. |
