Across the globe, Lladró is known for its high quality porcelain figurines. Lladró has forged a language that goes beyond words. The ongoing evolution of its sculptures has made the Lladró work the finest representation of art porcelain from the mid 20th century to our day. The work of Lladró is an expression of universal values, intimately connected with real people and their feelings. Inspired by dreams and fantasy, traditions, literature and art, nature or daily life, there is always a story behind each piece. And each story is added to as it passes through the hands of the storytellers.
1) CONTENTMENT: Motherhood is the main highlight of the contentment sculpture and it is not just for the decoration, but has a unique emotional connect to it. One of the few sculptures in the Lladro catalog that emphasizes on the bust and it is precisely the bust format that underscores the high sculptural value of the piece. The mother’s face, whose expression of contentment lends its name to the piece, the delicate tenderness with which she embraces her child, the placid sleep of the recently born baby, are elements showcasing the sculptor’s mastery in capturing all these subtle expressions.

2) SWEET CARESS: The most striking feature of this piece is undoubtedly the look and expression on the mother’s face.A bust depicting a mother whose remarkable head of hair gently envelopes her child. In this piece the sculptor wanted to express that special bond between a mother and her child. The decorative details are of utmost importance as they help to convey the pureness of this bond. Both the expressions of their faces and the naturalness of the skin,contribute to the brilliance of the sculpture.The enamels on the hair of both the mother and child also enhance this real appearance.

3) MOMMY’S LITTLE GIRL:Mommy’s little girl is a very special mother and child scene. The mother is explaining something important to her daughter and she is sitting on the ﬂoor to be closer to her. The playful gestures of both mother and child transmits the close connection between them.The charming scene is also very realistic because of the posture of both the characters. As it is believed that to communicate better with children one should place themselves at the same height as the children, the mother does so in the sculpture. And the daughter is more like a restless child who is taking a break from playing in order to listen to something important that Mommy wants to tell her.

4) BUDDHA I : These 2 pieces are re-decoration of the ones launched in 2007. They are inspired on busts or Buddha heads by Oriental art which results from archaeological remains where the full figure, sometimes in huge proportions, has broke into pieces. Art also reflects the abstract concept of illuminated Buddha with different forms. therefore we present these two heads with slight differences according to masculine or feminine traits. Buddha I is the feminine, with narrow lips and a wider bun on her hair.
