El Portal Porcelana Now Search Enabled!
Users can
now search for individual items by title name or by number. (Search result
links will open in a separate
window.) To search by model name, simply place the title in quotes - for example, "Boy, Big Hat." That
will bring you to a page displaying a link for the catalog page on which that
model appears. If you know that item's number but not its name,
simply type in 182G (with no brand prefix, but make sure you use the G for NAO
porcelain items made in the regular porcelain formula).
Troubleshooting notes:
- The search by model name will not work if there is more than
one word in the title unless you place
the name in quotes.
- The model number search will not work if you place a number
sign, brand name, or any other prefix before the number.
- For non-Gres NAO, the number search will also
not bring you to a catalog page if you do not use the G suffix
immediately after the number. (Some items are catalog listed with a G/M suffix,
but typing just a G will bring you to those as well.)
- The letter suffix
is not required
for model numbers in NAO Gres.
If you do not know the name or catalog number of your piece, simply scroll
to the thematic catalog links below to browse for your
figurine/ornament.

NAO Catalog
-© Peggy Whiteneck
Retail prices on current issue NAO have been updated as of 12/31/09 and have updated the catalog
for all retirements through that date. (Next retirement list will come out around October 2010
for retirements as of 12/31/10.)
Special thanks to collector Monica Stewart (RIP) for her stalwart and invaluable assistance
in proof-reading the NAO catalog pages and for her generosity in sharing many
pictures from her own collection! Monica died suddenly in 2005, and I miss her
greatly. I will always be grateful to her for her selfless mentoring
of this NAO cataloguing effort. Thanks also to collectors Teresa Schmitt,
Robert (Gene) Woods, Franne Stroblas, Barbara Fredrick, Colin Warwicker,
Cindy Johns, Sue Ewen, Linda Zimliki, Tamra Tamaugsburger, Cathern James,
Nick Lockie, Sharon Swift, Nigel Gayner, Tracy Maughan, Anette Schier, Kevin Goult,
Brenton Roneberg, Jöelle Ley, and Anette Schier and to Jorge Luis Gonzalez AAA,
Certified Appraiser
for their picture and information contributions to this
catalog. We're continually adding pictures to this and the
other catalogs on the site, so stay tuned, and have fun!
Items in this catalog preceded by the letter "L" were very early items in the NAO
collection and can often be found interspersed with other Lladró models in
retail catalogs from the late 1960s; these models are also the ones most likely to be
found with old, impressed "Lladró" marks as well as old, impressed "NAO"
marks.
The letters G or M after the catalog numbers stand for "glazed" or "matte"
respectively. The combination G/M indicates the item is known to have been
made in both glazed and matte. Items made in the distinctive Gres formula are indicated
with the full word "Gres" after the catalog number (with the exception of
items already consolidated on the Gres catalog pages). Readers will note some
deliberate duplication in the listings to accommodate collectors who may be
looking for an item under more than one category. I'll be adding other
thumbnail pix of retired items as I get them. "El Portal Porcelana" is a collector information web site and is not
in any way affiliated with or authorized by the corporate entities known as
Lladró or NAO.
Please Note: This is an information web site ONLY.
While I very much welcome email contacts from
serious collectors or just those wanting more information on Spanish porcelain,
please do not contact me asking for sales or acquisition assistance, as those
areas are not my bailiwick.
No portion of this catalog may be

A Note About Unidentified NAO Items
Announcing
A Collector's Book of Retired Lladró
by Peggy Whiteneck

Posted 7/18/10
Ever since its founding in the 1950s and its subsequent, stellar rise to global prominence,
collectors have been fascinated with the singular modeling and attention to detail in
Lladró Spanish porcelain figurines. Eventually, collectors discovered that Lladró
wasn't just one brand, but several. At the same time, other companies began to sprout up all
over Spain, particularly around Lladó's own region in Valencia, working
"in the Lladró style" and hoping to catch a ride on the tailwinds of its popularity.
This book is written to acquaint readers with retired figurines in all the Lladró and
Lladró-affiliated brands and to help distinguish them from the work of other Spanish
companies. The book features substantive chapters on the Lladró "core brand,"
NAO by Lladró, Zaphir, Golden Memories, Rosal, and Hispania, complete with
representative photos for each brand.
