This vintage Nao figurine, titled “Protecting the Dog”, was designed by Francisco Catalá and produced between 1970 and 1977. Standing gracefully, the girl is depicted in a bonnet and flowing skirt, tenderly holding a small dog while a basket rests at her feet. Measuring approximately 25cm tall, this piece is crafted in fine Spanish porcelain, with Nao’s signature soft pastel palette and delicate glaze
