ABOUT THE ZAPHIR / NAO COMPANY:

ZAPHIR WAS A LLADRO’S COMPANY THAT HAD A SEPARATE FACTORY IN VALENICA. ZAPHIR CHANGED ITS NAME TO NAO IN THE 1980s. SOME COLLECTORS (AND A FEW ‘EXPERTS’) REFER TO NAO AND ZAPHIR PIECES AS ‘SECONDS’ MEANING IMPERFECT COMPARED TO LLADRO’S HIGH STANDARDS. AS PER MY RESEARCH, THIS IS NOT TRUE. ZAPHIR (NAO) SUBSIDIARY COMPANY WAS FORMED TO MAKE MORE AFFORDABLE PIECES REQUIRING LESS DETAIL WORK AND FIGURINES THAT WERE MORE ENDEARING CHARACTERS AND IN COMMON EVERYDAY ‘CUTE’ POSES COMPARED TO LLADRO’S COMPLICATED, DETAILED DRAMATIC, AND THUS, EXPENSIVE FIGURINES. LLADRO ACTUALLY DOES SELL ‘SECONDS’ AND THEY ARE DISTINGUISHED BY THE ABSENCE OF LLADRO TRADEMARK BELLFLOWER WHICH IS SCRAPED OF DURING QUALITY CONTROL EXAMINATION.
