The Best Procelain Figurines

Today on the blog I’m sharing my 3 favorite brands of porcelain figurines. What I love most about these collectibles is how diverse the three brands are. While each works with porcelain, they manage to create 3 distinct and beautiful styles! So here we go my top 3 Brands:

Lladró Figurines

Founded in 1956 and produced in Spain, these figurines have been highly sought after for decades. So what is it that I love so much about Lladró?

Lladró Figurine: 5217 Spring

Lladró Figurine: 5217 Spring

1. Their diverse finishes. I have to say that the shiny glazed finish is my favorite, but I love how Lladro never stop innovating and trying new things. In addition to their glazed finish, many figurines are available in a matte finish. Most recently Lladró introduced their gres finish. It’s earthy toned and semi-matte. With three distinct finish options, theirs something for everyone to love.


2. The intricacy of their flowers. If you’ve ever taken a close look at a Lladró figurine with lots of flowers, you’ll know what I’m talking about. The delicate leaves and the sheer number of flowers sometimes takes my breath away. Again, their diversity shines here, you can get a piece with hundreds of flowers, or you can select a design with one or two equally stunning flowers.


3. Their founding family. As someone who works for the family business and has two sisters, the story of three brothers founding the company makes me feel a bit sentimental. While the products and services a company produces are obviously important, I also love the stories of the people behind the brands.

Precious Moments
Precious Moments

These matte porcelain figurines were produced from Sam Butcher’s artwork. He and Bill Biel became friends through the most unique circumstances. And their friendship helped launch a brand that’s now collected all over the world. If you want to know more about their story, check it out here. So why do Precious Moments make my top 3?

1. There’s a Precious Moment for every occasion. With thousands of unique designs, you’re sure to find the perfect one. When I was a kid, I did Karate for about 12 years. When I earned by Black Belt, I was given a Precious Moment of a girl doing Karate. It means so much to me, that it still sits in my bedroom a decade later 😊


2. While most Precious Moments feature light pastel colors, in recent years, they’ve begun adding brighter colors to their designs. While long time collectors may not like the change, I find the change makes the figurines more joyful!


3. Precious Moments are affordable. These matte porcelain bisque figurines are often available on the collectible market for $10 - $15. This price point makes Precious Moments the perfect gift or the perfect way to start your own collection.

Hummel Figurines
Hummel Figurines

Hummel’s are the oldest of my top 3 porcelain figurine brands. The oldest pieces date back to 1935. These German figurines feature deep colors that capture the essence of Fall. Whenever I categorize Hummels, I’m tempted to put every piece in the Fall category 😂 Hummel’s make the top 3 for a few reasons.

Hummel Figurine: Little Goat Herder - 200/I

Hummel Figurine: Little Goat Herder - 200/I

1. They’re adventurous. Okay I guess a figurine can’t be adventurous, but they depict adventure. From climbing trees, to hiking, to playing with friends, each figurine makes me want to get outside and explore.


2. Their age. While far from the oldest collectibles on the market, I find the age of Hummel’s to make them unique. From the added character of crazed pieces, to the diversity of the products line, age has only made these collectibles better.

Honorable Mentions:

Because capping the list at just 3 choices was nearly impossible, I just have to mention a few other porcelain figurines 😊
