Lladrò’s history began in Valencia, Spain in 1953, with the creation of pastoral miniatures similar to those in Bruce Chatwin’s novel, Utz, published in 1988 before his untimely death. Lladrò’s collaboration with Jaime Hayon keeps the brand’s classic manufacturing modern and whimsical, distinguishing it from other decorative porcelain. Their many collections, ranging from illumination to miniatures, include jewelry. German artist Bodo Sperlein specializes in refined porcelain design, and created a collection of head bands, rings and necklaces decorated in white birds, and small, butterfly-shaped pins. The more recent, price-accessible line of pendants “dangle” between grotesque and witty. The collection of masked animal heads diminishes the delicate process of ceramic manufacturing.
