Ever since its founding in the 1950s and its subsequent, stellar rise to global prominence, collectors have been fascinated with the singular modeling and attention to detail in Lladró Spanish porcelain figurines. Eventually, collectors discovered that Lladró wasn’t just one brand but several. At the same time, other companies began to sprout up all over Spain, particularly around Lladró’s own region in Valencia, working “in the Lladró style” and hoping to catch a ride on the tailwinds of its popularity. This book is written to acquaint readers with retired figurines in all the Lladró and Lladró-affiliated brands and to help distinguish them from the work of other Spanish companies. The book features substantive chapters on the Lladró “core brand,” NAO by Lladró, Zaphir, Golden Memories, Rosal, and Hispania, complete with representative photos. |
