See our range?Lladro
Like all works of art, the sculptures of Lladró are brought to life through the various insights and experiences of the artists who create them. It is for this reason that the themes they represent are as varied as life itself.
Lladró's creations reflect the circle of life that sustains us and brings forth our highest emotions; they reveal a world of sentiments and experiences that distinguish what it means to be human.
The process, through which every Lladró sculpture will pass, from the very first sketch right to the firing stage, is entirely handcrafted. It involves artists and specialist artisans whose daily work has won worldwide admiration for Lladró porcelain, making each piece a unique work of art.

See our range?Max and Friends
Rob Scotton. New York Times' best selling author illustrator and award winning designer Rob Scotton has joined with Country Artists to create a series of hilarious sculptures portraying the misadventures of his latest characters, Max and the Canary. These unique pieces cast a wry look at life with the ever enthusiastic but inept canine and his energetic companions.
Max looks kind of funny. You know when you just look at something and think to yourself -"that's kind of funny." You don't laugh out loud, although you will probably raise a smile; it's not that kind of funny, the other sort of funny. Funny that.
For a start Max is a dog of incomprehensible style. Quirky, yes. Scraggy, yes - but oh the appeal. His eyes. Not simply too close together, but of different sizes, and colours; how utterly absurd.

See our range?Willow Tree
Susan Lordi's inspiration for Willow Tree® comes from a love of family, closeness to friends and an appreciation of nature. Each represents a quality or sentiment that helps us feel close to others, heal wounds or treasure relationships to living things. Expression is revealed through gestures only... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body.
