“Nao” is a separate line of figurines created by Lladro. Nao pieces are intended to be simpler and more modest in design than regular Lladro figurines. Typically, Nao pieces are less expensive.

Lladro is no longer considered expensive in comparison (but of course there are many exceptions with Lladro – usually large pieces) and the NAO pieces are considered very low value.

Nao is a division of Lladro and has its own trademark. Look for an alphanumeric code on the bottom of the figurine next to the Nao logo. This is referred to as the authenticity code. Find an additional number under the authenticity code on Limited Edition pieces, which is the serial number.

Tengra porcelain figurines have been made since 1964 in Valencia, Spain. They are not Lladro figurines but are made in the same style.

Carefully wrap bubble wrap around each segment of the figurine. DO NOT wrap any two elements together. Cut two pieces of foam insulation to the exact size of two opposite sides of the box. There will be a top piece of foam so be sure to leave enough room at the top to put a foam cap on.

With a Lladro piece, if you look long enough, you will probably track down the missing pieces. If you have an idea that you might want to sell your Lladro at some time, keep your original boxes. This will also add to the perceived value of the pieces.
