Nao porcelain figurines express the joys, tender moments, and important passages of life. Hand-crafted by skilled artisans and hand-painted in soft pastel shades, each Nao sculpture makes a cherished heirloom and is sure to delight the recipient. Sleepy-Head, standing approximately 7-1/2 inches tall, shows a sleepy boy in his pajamas, one hand rubbing his eye and the other dangling his teddy bear. Tenderness and a touch of humor imbue the sculpture, making this a sweet gift for a loved one. Nao figurines are made in the studios of its renowned parent company, Lladró, in Valencia, Spain. A blend of skilled craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology goes into each piece, which is kiln-fired for more than 20 hours to ensure a flawless final glaze. The collection of approximately three hundred figurines includes angels, children, pets, mermaids, wedding cake toppers, religious icons, and more. Collectors eagerly await the new arrivals each year. --Ann Bieri
