I grew up with a mother that loved beautiful decor and an appreciation of porcelain figurines.
Stylized Victorian ladies holding dainty umbrellas and forest animals that looked gently into the midst lived throughout my childhood home. While the China hutch and curio cabinet were reserved for unique pieces that were priceless and irreplaceable.
The family vintage green glass, hand cut crystal platters, collectable vases, and of course,
Lladro pieces were neatly arranged behind the glass doors of those tall oak doors.
When I got my first job as a teenager I remember going to my local mall to visit a collectables shop. I would stand looking at the Lladro pieces, then add-up my measly hourly wage in my head in the hopes that one day I would be able to afford to buy my mother a piece of her beloved Lladro.
Before I hit the age of 21, I did.
The light in my moms curio added a beautiful contrast to the smooth white face of the maiden standing front and center. Her dress seemed to dance in a wind that froze her in time.

Inspired by my mother's love of Lladros soft lines and dream-like color palettes, I've also been enchanted by the simplicity of each hand-crafted Lladro porcelain piece and admire their museum-like quality.
But buying Lladro is an experience in itself...
The experience of purchasing your first Lladro piece, or adding to a collection, is only heightened when you visit Lladro's newest boutique in Beverly Hills.
Surrounded by world renowned fashion luxury brands, the Lladro Boutique located at Two Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, is an intimate and inviting space where everyone can enjoy the beautiful simplicity of Lladro porcelain.
This new concept boutique also displays Lladro's foray into lighting design, while staying true to their artisanal porcelain process.
Stop by the Lladro boutique while you are in town for lunch or shopping to discover your love of a brand that will add beauty to your home.
