When Lilliput Lane was launched in the early eighties, the collectable market was in its infancy. For many years, there had been china figurines from Royal Doulton, Coalport and Lladro, but these were, until then, purchased as a kind of occasional ornament. People would have the odd china figurine on display on their mantelpiece or in a cabinet, but that was all. But then, along came the eighties and everything changed. And it really did begin with Lilliput Lane Cottages. Here was a collectable that seemed to feed on people’s insatiable desire to gather and acquire. It wasn’t enough to own two or three ornaments to be lovingly placed in various corners of the home. A true collector had to own the whole lot, literally. Whether or not this had originally occurred to the founders of the company, I know not, but of course, cottages were the perfect vehicle for satisfying the collectible lust, for what better way to build up your collection than by creating a village.
Recognising early on the almost manic nature of the collectable mentality, Lilliput Lane calculated that the best way to both feed the collecting lust and, at the same time, control it was to set up a collectors club. This they did in the mid eighties and since then, have never looked back.
The Lilliput Lane Collectors Club is run by a team of specially trained staff, available during working hours to answer all queries, such as where cottages can be bought, how they are made, where the ideas for new cottages originate, almost everything you wish to know. The club is now twenty two years old, and during its life has had the pleasure of welcoming many thousands of new members from all over the world.
Lilliput Lane Collectors Club members receive personal invitations to events held around the country, often in beautiful settings, such as country estates. There is always a painter and a sculptor on hand. So these events provide a great opportunity for collectors to find out more about the exacting process of designing and manufacturing Lilliput Lane cottages. It also gives members the opportunity to meet and discuss their collections with members of the design and sales team.
Not to be missed is a visit to Skirsgill in the Lake District, the home of Lilliput Lane Cottages. On arrival the collector will receive a warm welcome in the specially constructed Honeysuckle Cottage; a phenomenal building which is a miniature cottage ‘in reverse’. Instead of being the model of a life sized cottage, it’s an authentic full sized version of a miniature cottage. It took almost a year to build, being finally completed in the summer of May 1995, using genuine building materials. It is surrounded by beautiful, manicured gardens and inside the entire current collection of Lilliput Lane Cottages is on view, as well as a display of retired cottages. Having admired this cottage ‘museum’, a tour can be taken of the studios to see how the world’s favourite cottages are made.

The Little Tin Soldier
This is a classic from childhood literature, an immortal tale of passion and determination created by Lladro Porcelain. A little one-legged tin soldier falls in love with a dancer and puts his own life at risk when he attempts to save her from a fire. What at first seems to be an impossible love, eventually triumphs when both are rescued from the flames, which, instead of destroying them, has joined them together for eternity on a single heart-shaped base.
Â
Lladro have long recognised the social phenomenon of story telling. From the very remotest times, people have enjoyed telling and listening to stories â tales of real people and situations, or tales of imagination, all of which move us, delight us and make us dream. Consequently, under their Privilege Gold banner, Lladro have launched a new collection of creations inspired by enduring classic tales. It gets under way with Little Tin Soldier, an ancient story of enduring love that has enchanted children and adults alike for over a hundred years.
Â
The characters of this charming tale â the beautiful ballerina and the brave soldier â are an example of true love and beauty. They are the leading players in an intense and exciting love story that is now born again in the form of a delicate porcelain figure. Lladro porelain have captured the dancerâs beautiful dress and graceful pose, the soldierâs stylish uniform and his loving look. â every last detail has been carried out with the same masterful skill that Hans Christian Andersen applied to penning the tale.
Â
The story that has inspired this new open series, has become a part of popular culture ther world over because it is much more than a tale for the very young. Its roots lie in ancient wisdom. The story deals with essential themes such as friendship, loyalty, beauty and honesty. And beneath the boundless imagination and fantasy lies a profoundly ethical meaning.
Â
Only the finest tales have lived on, passing from generation to generation, turning up night after night, each time that a mother or a father tells them to a sleepy child. Lladro has faithfully re-created these magical myths, using the finest of porcelain, in those most beautiful way imaginable, in a new collection that will fill any home with the magical dreamworld of childhood.
