To ensure that a figurine is 100% authentic Lladró, the Lladró company advises consumers to check the logotype engraved on the base of the Lladró piece. The engraved logotype (not a sticker) must match one of the specific logotypes that Lladró has used over the years. Please search Google for the keywords Lladró and logotypes to see photographs of Lladró\'s authentic logotypes. If the logotype on the bottom of a piece does not match one of Lladró\'s authentic logotypes, then the piece is a fake, i.e., a counterfeit.
