By Rashmi Gopal Rao

Given my love for artefacts and souvenirs, visiting the Lladró store in the swanky UB city was truly a delight.  The renowned Spanish brand is the epitome of luxury, prestige and exemplary craftsmanship and focuses on high end handcrafted porcelain objects.  Founded in 1953 by three brothers, Juan, José and Vicente the pieces display cutting-edge design and rank high on functionality.
