“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,

Hello, I want to buy Lladro Little Girl With Shoes Kneeling #4523 but I have foound the girl with light hair and one with dark hair and each one of these have different color shoes. Both have good hallmarks but I don’t know why they are different? Can you help?
Thank you
If I have a couple pieces with the Llandro bellflower trademark on bottom but no number is this a Llandro piece?
My mother recently passed and has quite collection of NAO statues . They are now looking to be sold to someone who would appreciate them . For a very resonable price .
At one point the lladro Brothers separated and had different companies..lladro and nao. Eventually, they joined back up, so vintage Naomi might not be lladro, but still is one of the brothers
I have a NAO figurine of the Virgin Mary.
Would you be interested in purchasing it?
