This is an outstanding piece to complete your collection! You will love this...bid NOW In 1953 Juan , José and Vicente Lladró make their first creations inspired by an experimental vocation in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). In this way, they develop their artistic interest as they work in a tile and crockery factory. These carefully designed pieces already have a special charm that awakens public interest. By 1955 they begin making sculptures in which a clear influence of the trends of the XVIII century can be observed. These pieces evoke the works of former porcelain artists such as Meissen, Sèvres and Capodimonte. In 1958 Juan , José and Vicente decide to dedicate themselves exclusively to their own works and transfer their small company to a warehouse in the neighboring town of Tavernes Blanques, because the family workshop has become too small for their business. Demand for Lladró creations grows unexpectedly. The brothers introduce innovations not only in the design and style of the figurines but also in the firing techniques, reducing the three-layer firing to a one-layer process. One-firing is an innovative method which creates the crystalline finish and the pastel tonalities typical of Lladró works. Valencian girl (50's) A growing number of sculptors, chemists and decorators increase the production of the brothers' work. They soon decide to incorporate a logo on all their figurines. Beside " Porcelanas Lladró ", they add a Greek master piece, the Victory of Samotracia, thus associating their surname to the ideal of classical art. By the end of this decade, Lladró opens a store in Valencia and two more within a few years' time. In the 1980's the Lladró brothers open their company's doors to the future and invite three of their children into the Board of Directors. Thus begins the transition of the artistic and human legacy of the company to its heirs. Rosa , Mamen and Juan Vicente Lladró undergo long apprenticeships before assuming responsibility in the company, including the tasks of the creativity committee. Also, during this decade Lladró grows overseas in several countries w their porcelain creations are very popular. In 1986, the company signs a joint-venture agreement with the Mitsui group, a figurine dealer in Japan and, as a consequence of this alliance, the subsidiary in this country is born, followed by China, Australia, United States and the United Kingdom. On September 18th of the same year, the Lladró Museum is opened in New York , located on prestigious 57th street in Manhattan, in a building that preserves the urban charm of the 1920s. In the creative arena, in 1982 one of the milestones of the brand is introduced: Flowers of the Season , a composition of hundreds of flowers that conveys grace and freshness with a great artistic value. Flowers have always had a very important meaning to Lladró, as their creation requires expert hands. A group of artists is exclusively dedicated to this activity, giving detailed and thorough attention to this typical Lladró element, petal by petal. In 1985, the Lladró Collectors Society is created, which for over fifteen years brings together more than one hundred thousand lovers of art in fine porcelain. Their first annual sculpture is Little Pals .
