Lladro figurines are made in the City of Porcelain, in the town of Almacera, Spain. Three brothers started this business in 1953 in the courtyard of the family home known as Lladro. Today they employ more than 2000 people and Lladro porclain are sold all over the world. Earth, color and fire are the three main elements in the creation of each of the Lladro figurines as they are hand sculpted to perfection.
Specialty boutiques around the world are selling Lladro porcelain pieces. On the other hand, you can always check out their website if you wanted pieces from Lladro Spain and have them shipped to you. Also, use the Lladro website to locate the nearest retail stores in your area if you wanted to see the porcelain figures personally. The best thing about Lladro porcelains is that if you do not find the specific porcelain figure in the catalogue, you are encouraged to contact their customer service hotline and describe the piece that you want.
The authenticity of Lladro collectible figurines are found at the bottom of the figure. You should check the bottom of the figurine if it has the Lladro prototype printed at the bottom, then you can be definitely sure you are an owner of an authentic figurine of Lladro from Spain.
Insurance is the key word. In an unfortunate fate that your Lladro porcelain might break, don't fret since there are repair centers you can go to have your items fixed. The company does not have its own repair shop for Lladro figurines, but if you contact the Customer Service, a representative will be able to give you the name of the company that does its repairs in your country. This is what makes these collectible figurines so valuable and why people who have them want to get the proper Lladro repaired if something happens to them. The numbered series of figurines are also produced in a limited number and carry a certificate of authenticity.
In order to complement your Lladro porcelain, you can purchase accessories to have the edge over other Lladro porcelain collectors. It is advisable however to get an insurance against breakage for your accessories along with the porcelain figurines you have purchased and with this you are now a member of the privileged Lladro from Spain.
