Porcelain sculpture of a golden dragon inspired by the art of origami. Limited edition of 888 units.

The dragon is one of the most powerful symbols in Eastern imagination. Associated with wisdom, good fortune, and protection, it adopts a new identity in this creation through a renewed aesthetic that blends tradition, design, and craftsmanship.

Inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, this dragon is composed of faceted volumes that transform the classic lines of origami into a sculpture with strong visual energy. Its angular forms, dynamic posture, and the tension in its silhouette evoke power and movement.

The golden finish enhances the sculptural energy of the piece. To achieve this effect, we use natural mineral pigments coated with a fine layer of metallic oxide, intensifying the surface reflections while maintaining the purity of the color. The result is a striking creation with deep symbolic and decorative value.

Dragon is part of a limited series of 888 units, entirely handcrafted using traditional porcelain-making techniques with a contemporary approach. Every step in the process honors the artisanal essence that sets our creations apart.

This piece belongs to the Origami collection, a series of sculptures that reinterpret the animal world through geometric abstraction, with an aesthetic rooted in contemporary design.

Lladro 01001935 GREAT DRAGON BLUE ENAMELS




 



























Height (in): 29.134
Width (in): 27.559
Length (in): 20.866
Weight 40.12 lb
Color Blue
Finished Matte
Launch Year 2008
Sculptor Francisco Polope
Limited Series of 150 units

Limited edition, blue enamelled sculpture of the great dragon.

A symbol of power and prosperity in Eastern culture, this magical creature, the bearer of good luck, is the protagonist in this spectacular High Porcelain limited edition. The hundreds of scales covering its skin are individually hand painted in different shades of blue, which gives it a special shine and which is an extremely laborious technique requiring the expertise of the finest artists. The luminosity distinguishing its spectacular embellishment is attained by combining gloss and satin finishes. The complexity of the dragon´s shape and the great number of small details make the process of its creation extremely difficult, from the modelling of the original sculpture through to its final firing in the kiln.

Lladro 01001975 SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON

 



















Weight 62.17 lb
Sculptor Alfredo Llorens
Height (in): 24.803
Width (in): 35.039
Length (in): 24.803
Finished Gloss
Limited Series of 350 units

Limited edition, gloss finish porcelain sculpture of St. George on horseback as victor over the dragon, in green, blue and white hues.

Saint George is the prototype of the medieval knight and one of the most venerated saints of Europe. Artists of the Lladró High Porcelain workshop have created this spectacular interpretation of his legendary adventure with the dragon in a limited edition which stands out for its dynamism and the technical virtuosity of its execution. The scene shows the hero fighting with a fierce creature in order to free the king´s daughter, who was to be sacrificed to satisfy the demands of the monster. In the decoration of the piece, the richness of enamels stands out, with roughly twenty different tones applied to the dragon and the depth of textures accentuating the modelling and providing it with volume. In contrast, the knight displays more gentle treatment, softened by his light skin and Apollonian features. This contrast is reinforced by the white horse, a symbol of the nobility, bravery and loyalty necessary to defeat evil.

Lladro 01009766 Baby Dragon

 
















Weight 1.32 lb
Sculptor Raul Rubio
Height (in): 7.087
Width (in): 4.331
Length (in): 5.118
Finished Gloss and Matte

Porcelain creation inspired by the Dragon, one of the 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac.

Baby Dragon is the opening piece in the Baby Animals collection, a version of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac created from a more naïve, tender-hearted, and endearing perspective. Worth underscoring in this interpretation of the only mythological animal in the Chinese zodiac is the sculptural and ornamental work, which recreates the morphology and scales of the dragon’s skin with high precision. White was chosen for the whole decoration, with the sole exception of the eyes which are painted a deep black color in order to heighten the expressiveness. Another interesting feature is that the piece alternates areas of glazed and matte scales, an effect achieved by eliminating the glaze with a small soft sponge. This application of a very gestural technique with tiny strokes means that each Baby Dragon creation has a special unique finish. In China, people born under the sign of the Dragon (1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024) are called dragon babies and are believed to be imaginative, kind, vital and energetic.

Porcelain sculpture of a powerful dragon in the signature geometric style of the Origami collection.

This impressive porcelain dragon, in a limited edition of 777 units to commemorate Lladró’s seven decades, is the latest addition to the Origami collection. The most majestic creature from ancient oriental culture is a universal symbol of power, fortune and good luck. Natural mineral pigments were used in the decoration, coated with a fine layer of metallic oxide to intensify the predominant red color. This tonality is further enhanced by the contrast of the golden details in the finish of the piece. Like the rest of the pieces in the Origami collection, this is a contemporary, innovative vision of the traditional Japanese art of origami, in which the geometric shapes produced by folding paper are transformed into facets with great sculptural and decorative impact.
