We are pleased to offer this Lladro, Porcelain Figurine, titled Minstrel’s Love.
The Sculptor is Rafael Lozano. This romantic couple’s still life interaction and
sweet expressions say it all. The pleasing to the eye, complementary pinks, violets, shades of brown, grey and white, are the colors that breathe life into this young
man and woman. It is in excellent condition. Minstrel’s Love would make a great addition to your collection.
In 1953 Juan, José and Vicente Lladró make their first creations inspired by an experimental vocation in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). In this way, they develop their artistic interest as they work in a tile and crockery factory. These carefully designed pieces already have a special charm that awakens public interest.
In 1958 Juan, José and Vicente decide to dedicate themselves exclusively to their own works and transfer their small company to a warehouse in the neighboring town of Tavernes Blanques, because the family workshop has become too small for their business. Demand for Lladró creations grows unexpectedly. The brothers introduce innovations not only in the design and style of the figurines but also in the firing techniques, reducing the three-layer firing to a one-layer process. One-firing is an innovative method which creates the crystalline finish and the pastel tonalities typical of Lladró works.
