The Hispania company was founded in 1941 and was most noted for its production of earthenwares and majolica, primarily decorative items such as vases, frames, planters, and the like. It was one of several companies which the budding Lladró brothers were associated with in the 1940s. The brothers sold Hispania products in their first shop. After the Lladró brothers became successful, they bought out their old collaborator and tried to make a "go" of it throughout the decade of the 80s before closing it in 1989.
