Founded by three brothers Juán, José and Vicente Lladró, in 1953 in the village of Almàssera. The Lladró company is a Spanish firm based in Tavernes Blanques, Valencia. The company produces ceramic figurines and started with items such as vases and jugs.
In 1956 the sculptures that Lladró are most famous for began production. The small workshop that the brothers worked from eventually expanded several times due to the growing enthusiasm for the items they were producing. The Lladró brothers eventually moved their business to Tavernes Blanques in 1958.
