NAO by Lladro 'Girl Sitting With Bird' Porcelain Figurine

This is a vintage Spanish porcelain figurine from the NAO collection, a subsidiary of Lladro. The piece depicts a young woman seated contemplatively, wearing a wide-brimmed white hat and a flowing periwinkle blue skirt. She is looking down at a small blue bird perched on a textured green mossy base beside her. The construction utilizes high-quality hard-paste porcelain with the signature soft pastel palette and glossy glaze finish characteristic of the Valencia-based workshop. Noteworthy details include the delicate sculpting of the skirt's folds and the subtle rosy hues on the girl's cheeks and sleeves. Based on provided context, the base likely bears the '1987 Daisa' stamp, which refers to the intellectual property holding company for Lladro/NAO designs established in the late 1970s. The craftsmanship is evident in the slender proportions and serene facial expression. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though a string tag is attached suggesting it has been held in a retail or collection inventory. The style is classic late-20th-century Spanish porcelain, typically valued for its sentimental aesthetic and smooth, refined finish.
