There is a concept of High Porcelain in sculpture. It means delicate and filigree work with this material, which takes the resulting products to a new level. Works in the High Porcelain style are highly valued by collectors, exhibited in museums and stand in the most fashionable homes. This term was first proposed by the Spanish brand Lladro, which is the flagship of this direction. Their exquisite figurines decorate the most luxurious interiors around the world, and are now also sold in the online premium gift store Fama. That is why we decided to write about this company in more detail, and let's start with its history.
By and large, the Lladro brand is Juan, José and Vincent Lladro, three brothers who founded this company and gave it their last name as a name. The brand began in 1953 in the small town of Almacera, when they built a pottery kiln from scratch at their parents' house and began making their first vases and dishes. And three years later, the Lladro brothers produced their first figurines, which would later bring them world fame. In 1969, another significant event took place for Lladro, already a large brand at that time - the opening of the City of Porcelain, which united many small workshops into one huge conglomerate with more than two thousand people.
Another achievement of the Spanish brand is its own museum. It was organized right in the brothers' native home in Almacer. The museum consists of two parts: the first is an exhibition of porcelain masterpieces, and the second exhibits paintings by great masters such as Rubens and El Greco. Also, a large collection of Lladro products is located in Manhattan, where their center and another museum of the company are located. And the brand's porcelain masterpieces can be found all over the world in the most prestigious homes and places: from the Pope to Elizabeth II, from American presidents like Ronald Reagan to American celebrities like Frank Sinatra. Figurines and vases constantly shine in TV series and films. For example, in the legendary "The Sopranos", when Carmela Soprano in one episode boasted about her Lladro figurine, and in another - threw it at her husband Tony.
Statuettes as a gift
A collection of beautiful creations from Lladro is also available in the Fama online store. You will find a large range of products from Spanish masters, which is constantly being updated. Magnificent sculptures and luxurious vases will await you among decorative figurines for gifts from other brands. The range of themes that Lladro undertakes is very wide: from images of knights to angels with a violin, from Sancho Panza to a Jewish boy, from a pair of doves on a tree branch to a Thai woman. Therefore, no matter who you want to give a gift in the form of a figurine, you will definitely be able to choose exactly what you need.
There are a few more nuances that will raise the exclusivity of your gift to unattainable heights. The first point is that each figurine is made by hand. Therefore, even within the same collection, there are no two absolutely identical figurines. Each of them will differ in at least some way from the other. Creating a plaster prototype, painting the figurines, coating with varnish and other manipulations - all this is done by the hands of masters. Another point is that Lladro figurines are made in a limited edition, usually 200 copies. But this is not the most interesting thing. After the next collection has been created, all the forms in which the figurines were created are destroyed in the presence of a notary. Thus, even the masters from Lladro themselves will not be able to exactly repeat their own masterpieces.
Over the decades of its existence, the Spanish brand has reached such a level that it has created its own genre of "High Porcelain". The stunning level of technology in working with this material has led to such a demand for Lladro products that their figurines and vases stand in the homes of presidents and monarchs, and museums are dedicated to them separately. Now, thanks to the Fama online store, you too have the opportunity to collect a collection of Lladro masterpieces and turn your home into a virtual exhibition of works of art. Or you can make an exquisite gift for men and women.
