What is the Difference Between Lladro and Nao?

“Nao” is a separate line of figurines created by Lladro. It first originated in 1968 under the name Rosal.

Nao pieces are intended to be simpler and more modest in design than regular Lladro figurines.

Typically, Nao pieces are less expensive.

We understand Nao pieces to be created by a separate design team.

The Lladro Database currently only has traditional Lladro pieces. We do not have Nao figures.

Bottom line: Nao could be considered to be owned by Lladro, or designed by Lladro, for ease of reference it is easier to think of Lladro and Nao as separate. This way you will not purchase what you think to be an expensive “Lladro” only to find out it is a cheaper Nao by Lladro.

    I’ve got 3 figurines : 2 LLADRO (little girl with lamb and young woman holding a basket with puppies) and 1 NAO (young man sitting with dog on hind legs).

    Where can I sell these items?

    Kind Regards,
