Notice to eBay™ Auction Sellers (et al.)

El Portal Porcelana Now Search Enabled!

Search for
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

It seems that, every year since 2005, there has been a slight increase in the retail price of most current isues. I have updated the prices to the best of my ability without benefit of a numerically ordered price list, but it's possible that I missed one or two of these updates. Note: If anyone has a company price list that he/she would be willing to share with me, it would help me greatly in keeping current prices and recent retirements updated. In particular, I am in need of the retirement lists for the years 2006 and 2007. (Formerly, I had relied upon the staff of John More of Scarborough in the United Kingdom to supply me with these lists; unfortunately, this fine firm has gone out of business.)

I've provided a link to the official NAO website for all current issues.

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, Jose Luis González, Kevin Goult, and Brenton Roneberg 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.
