A Collector's Book of Retired Lladro: Genuine Figurines & Their Marks

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 Lladr Spanish porcelain figurines. Eventually, collectors discovered that Lladr wasn't just one brand but several. At the same time, other companies began to sprout up all over Spain, particularly around Lladr 's own region in Valencia, working "in the Lladr 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 Lladr and Lladr -affiliated brands and to help distinguish them from the work of other Spanish companies. The book features substantive chapters on the Lladr (r) "core brand," NAO by Lladr , Zaphir, Golden Memories, Rosal, and Hispania, complete with representative photos.
