The Making Of A Lladro Figurine
by Rick on Jan.26, 2009, under Lladro Open Discussion
The process to make a Lladro figurine is very intricate involving a lot of steps and processes. First the concept piece must be sculpted by the artist. Then the consortium of artisans must approve it. The sketch is then recreated in plaster to produce the first mold. The average figurine of medium size will use around 15 molds. If the figurine is extremely detailed it may require up to 300 molds. The figurine is then made and ready to be decorated. There may be carving or other finishing touches added before the painting is done with some of the figurines being varnished. As the final step of the process the figurine is fired at over 1300 degrees Celsius for 24 hours in a kiln. Once finished, the piece must be reviewed and approved by members of the consortium. These porcelain figurines are made in Spain, Tavernes Blanques, Valencia in what is called the City of Porcelain which is the creative artist factory founded by the Lladro company. Visitors can arrange a tour by reservation and watch the artisans at work.

Retired Lladros
by Rick on Nov.10, 2008, under Lladro Open Discussion
Lladro has retired quite a few of their Lladro figurines. My wife has several in her collections. Did you know there is a Lladro catalog? It is not a free item but it will have all of the Lladros that have been marketed since Lladro was founded in 1953 by three brothers of the Lladro family. My wife’s copy has become a bit dog-eared with use.
