from Christchurch, New Zealand - to the world ...
in 1953, at their home in the village of Almàssera, three brothers began to make their first plates, vases and ceramic figurines inspired by the works of the great European manufacturers of Meissen, Sèvres and Capodimonte.It is in this period that the modeling of flowers or the complex treatment of tulle first appeared, examples of virtuoso techniques that we still find today in many of the brand’s creations.The Lladro "look" is the same for all their pieces. Pale colors create a unique look that cannot be rivaled. The detailing on the pieces is absolutely amazing. Even down to the design on the dresses and face. They have a shiny finish.
