From their
factory in Valencia, Spain, Nao creates stunning porcelain figures. The area
itself has a long history of producing stunning ceramics that dates back as far
as the Roman times. The Nao porcelain mark is actually owned by Lladro. The
Lladro brothers purchased a small factory that made porcelain not far from the
city of Valencia in 1967. It was from this factory that they began
collaborating with some of the best local artists within the field of
porcelain, and thus a new style was created, which has since become their
trademark look.
These
original creations were less sophisticated and marketed under the name Rosal.
They were, however, very popular and filled with a charm and innocence that has
been maintained since the very beginning. Nowadays the figures, sold under the
Nao mark, offer a superb combination of handcrafted work combined with some of
the most innovative techniques in the field of porcelain.

Today, Nao
is responsible for some of the most collectable and highly sought-after
porcelain figures that are available to buy. Their handmade porcelain figures
are elegant and truly graceful with a charm that is owed in part to the
stunning use of muted colour that makes them seem so delicate and fragile.
Family Life
Some of the
most popular figures in the Nao range by Lladro are of course those in their
family life range, and with good reason. These Nao figurines are highly collectible and make
very popular gifts for the special person in your life.
Cosy
slumber, which depicts a young mother embarrassing her child in sleep is a
truly stunning figure that perfectly captures the relationship between a parent
and a child at the most peaceful time of the day; the mother’s face so full of
love for the child she cradles. This would be a beautiful gift not only for a
collector of Nao porcelain but also for any new parent.
Nao figures
do not just depict mothers and children, there are plenty of stunning examples
of fathers and A Fathers Love or To Love and Protect are beautiful examples of
the bond that can exist between a father and their child.
Christmas
From bells to angels and nativity scenes to stable
animals, the Nao Christmas range offers a delightful and varied selection of
figurines and ornaments that are perfect for the festive season.
The
nativity figures in particular are truly stunning and would make a perfect gift
over the Christmas period. Each figure is delicately created with stunning
muted colours, delicate features and an exquisite attention to detail. If you
prefer your figures a little more whimsical then the Nao by Lladro Nativity
figures which feature a more childlike, simplistic Mary and Joseph with the
baby Jesus is a beautiful figurine that combines all the elements of a Nao
figurine in a more childlike and innocent style. There really is something for
everyone in this stunning collection and they will look perfect in your home
for many years.
Disney Figurines
We can’t
discuss Nao figurines without at least a passing mention of their adorable
Disney range. Some of Disney’s most iconic figures have been lovingly recreated
in beautiful porcelain with stunning attention to detail. There are also a
number of figurines in the range that pair a stunning Nao figure with a Disney
character. Together, they create a beautiful collaboration of innocent
childhood and the easily-recognisable beloved Disney characters that we all
know and love. Whatever you look for in a figurine the Nao range by Lladro has
a superb and varied collection that is sure to have something to suit your
taste.
