Can you tell me whats the difference between Lladro and Nao?
LLadro and Nao are both made by the same company. A piece by LLadro and Nao might be similar in appearance but upon closer inspection you will notice differences. Both pieces are made from porcelain however LLadro uses a higher quality more refined porcelain resin to cast each piece. After the pieces are cast LLadro pieces are hand sanded longer and held to a higher standard for smoothness than the Nao. After the pieces are assembled they are then hand painted and finished. The LLadro pieces are hand finished by the best most experienced master craftsman at the factory. The Nao pieces are done by there apprentices. Lastly, you will find a difference to who these pieces are marketed and sold to. LLadro will be only found in high end exclusive stores compared to Nao which is marketed to the masses and found just about anywhere.
