There is a guide to the Ten Most Valuable Lladr Porcelain Figurines.
The first porcelain creation by the Lladro company was in 1953.After moving their company to a warehouse near Tavernes Blanques, the brothers began working full-time on their porcelain ornaments.
The Lladro identification mark was introduced in 1960 as a result of this further investment of time by the three brothers.
ornament owners are interested in finding out when their piece was created and the Lladro company is young compared to other well-known porcelain designers.
Lladro pieces can be aged according to their unique Identification Mark.The Lladro figurine has an identification mark on the bottom.An ornament made after 1960 that lacks an identification mark is most likely a fake.
Before these I.D's were on the original box, Lladro used a 4 digit ID on each of their figurines.The value of Lladro ornaments became known to counterfeiters.
Lladro didn't have an official identification mark before 1960.There is a possibility that different identification marks could appear on Lladro pieces.The rest of the Lladro name can be found in the marks that are in question.The later 1960 identification wording, 'Made in Spain', is thought to relate to the words 'Valencia' and 'Espanna'.There are three identification marks that are confirmed to be a part of different pieces.
The first official Lladro mark appeared on figurines.The bottom of the figurines had a mark that was used up until 1963.This marking had the Lladro name at the top and the first letter of the word in the middle.The identification read: 'Espanna' and 'Made in Spain'.
A new company identification was introduced in 1964.The identification was read into the figurines but not the name.
The old impressed markings were replaced with a blue-black stamp.The stamp appeared at the bottom of Lladro pieces.This is the first time that the Bell-flower has been used as an identification mark.The Bell-flower became more intricate as the years went on.A accent mark is visible above the 'O' in Lladro and the wording 'Made in Spain' was replaced with the word 'hand made'.
Blue and black were the colors of the fourth marking that appeared on Lladro pieces.The factory mark was placed on the bottom of the figurine.The fourth edition has a trademark symbol and an accent over the O.
The fifth Lladro factory marking appeared in a black stamp from 1977 until 1984.At the bottom of the marking, there was an acronym forDisenos artisticos E Industriales, S.A.This was added because the company was now a subsidiary of Lladro.The Lladro design and copy rights were protected by this company.
The sixth Lladro marking is very similar to the previous factory marking.The copyright date is next to the acronym.
The seventh edition of the Lladro factory markings was recognized today.The stamp originated in 1990 and is still used today.There is a simplified version of the Bell-flower on this stamp.Many people associate the Lladro company with the Bell-flower logo.The spelling of the word Lladro was changed in this identification mark.
Members of the Lladro Collectors Society were the ones who designed the porcelain figurines.TheCollectors Society 1998 is written on the outside of the Bell-flower Lladro Logo.
The Bell-flower is a central logo.The flower is included due to its significance in Spain where the Lladro company first began and as a tribute to both nature and the mother of clay.
There are figurines with antique, collectible, Lladro, and vintage markings.
