NAO by Lladro glazed porcelain figurine Gentle Breeze model 1158 - A Spanish glazed porcelain figurine titled Gentle Breeze, depicting a young woman in a graceful pose. She wears a wide-brimmed dusty pink hat and a long, flowing cream-coloured dress with a white sleeveless bodice. The figure holds a single small pink flower in her right hand, while her left arm is slightly extended to the side. The piece is finished in a characteristically soft pastel palette with the elongated proportions associated with the maker. The base bears a printed mark in brown ink consisting of the name NAO and a stylized sailing ship logo, followed by the text HAND MADE IN SPAIN BY LLADRO and © DAISA 1991. The model number 1158 is clearly impressed into the porcelain base. There are hand-incised marks including the number 91 and other small symbols near the central circular vent hole. A small white circular adhesive label printed with the number 535 is also adhered to the underside.
