An assortment of seven glazed porcelain figurines by the Spanish manufacturers Nao. The collection comprises various subjects including three seated ballerinas, a tall elegant lady, and three young girls. The ballerinas are depicted in classical poses; one wears a lavender and white tutu with arms raised, while two wear white tutus, one leaning forward and the other adjusting a ballet shoe. The tall figure is dressed in a long, pale green gown with a wide-brimmed pink hat and holds a single pink flower. The remaining three figures depict young girls in blue attire: one seated with a bird, one standing with a bowl and two ducks at her feet, and one holding a basket with a small dog. Each piece is rendered in a soft pastel colour palette with the characteristic elongated proportions associated with these makers. Visible markings include a brown printed Nao backstamp on the underside of one piece, marked Hand Made in Spain by Lladro and Daisa with an additional paper label numbered 565. Another figurine carries the partially faded blue circular Lladro tulip mark.
