What Lladro Figurine Should You Get?

Lladro USA is a known manufacturer of splendid looking figurines that can be displayed anywhere in the house, to achieve an ambiance of elegance and refinement. In this day and age, you might think that people would be lost in their iPhones or iPods or be more concerned about getting the latest abdominal exercise contraption. But just get a discriminating person to stop and take a look at a fine Lladro figurine and they will be hooked.

These mini statues are of such fine exquisite detail, and evoke such feelings of nostalgia that it is almost painful to behold them. If you take a look at different figurines, you will be wondering to yourself, which one should I get? Of course, the most satisfying answer would be, get them all!

Let us take a look at the different figurines available. One that definitely stands out is the 'A Grandmother's Love' figurine, combining age with elegant beauty. The glazed porcelain is perfectly smoothed out and shines with an almost luminous quality. It is sheer class and artistry, together with an utmost sensitivity for nostalgia and sentiment. Truly, "there's nothing like a grandmother's love."

And then we also have the Lladro Together Forever figurine, of a man and woman apparently having just gotten married, clasping hands in a sort of dance. Both are looking at the woman's left hand, presumably at the ring symbolizing their unity. This is a perfect wedding present for any newlyweds, as well as for those renewing their vows 20, 30 or 50 years later.

Another beautiful work is the Ingenue figurine, of a young woman in an elegant gown, whose expression is one of tenderness with a hint of melancholy. Smaller than the others, it is about 8 inches in height, while the others are 12 inches high.

We also have what is called the 'My Sweet Princess' figurine, also about 8 inches in height of a child in a gown reminiscent of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. This is a beautiful gift to give to a daughter.

No other series of figurines combines fine craftsmanship and attention to detail, together with a dedication to preserving ideas of family and togetherness, as Lladro does. A Lladro figurine always has a history underlying it, and it accurately depicts part of the history of its owner as well. This sense of identification with these figurines helps us understand the long lasting tradition of Lladro.
