LLADRÓ

Lladró is a specialist in its field, committed to creating porcelain art pieces that represent and reflect the loves of our lives, whether that is a person, an animal, hobby and/or a vocation. In so doing Lladró pieces tell your story. 

Our service to you is that you can order from the whole Lladró range. Our aim is to have a significant proportion of the Lladró range here to view on our site. However, as there are approximately 14,000 pieces in the catalog (current and historical) so we won’t be showing all the range here. Therefore, if you can’t find a piece on our site can we suggest you identify the item from the Lladró official site: www.lladro.com and then contact us via email, phone or live chat and we will order it in for you. As an authorised Lladró retailer you can have confidence in our retail pricing and our free insurance covered freighting in New Zealand. In addition, we offer great VIP discounts, which we can tailor to reflect your purchasing history once you subscribe to our website. 

Lladro pieces not currently held in stock in New Zealand are ordered directly from Lladro, Spain. Your order will take approximately 2 weeks to arrive in NZ and it is then shipped to you. To avoid disappointment, we recommend allowing up to 4 weeks for your order to arrive.

Please let us know if your order is for a special event so we can assist you to get your purchase in time for that event.

You are also very welcome to live chat us to confirm the delivery time of the item you are considering and we can suggest alternatives that may suit if you require the item within a shorter timeframe.
