: Hi, David!
: There are several issues here...First, your serial number is wrong, I think...The last three numbers are the operative ones for ID purposes, and NAO and Zaphir are the only Lladro brands that used three-digit model numbers, but the shape of your base doesn't correspond to NAO 325....

: In any case, assuming this is a model of a  Lladró brand (hard to tell without a picture or model ID), the impressed marks on the base look to me more like artisans' marks than manufacturer's marks. Similar marks are found on all Lladró brand items and are used for internal quality control tracking within the company. As such, they have no meaning for collectors.

: Tang and Rosal are two older Lladró or Lladró-linked brands that were known to have used paper stickers for maker identification. When those fall off, one is left with a base that looks similar to the one on your model.

: Have read the comments about prototypes and pre-production pieces from my collector colleagues (hi, guys! :o), and they are right on. These terms used to have meaning only some  years ago before the advent of the worldwide Web and the discovery that so many of these "rare" models were made.  Now, the term pre-production as it has formerly been used. Prototypes really are one of a kind items - which do exist in the Lladró world but are unlikely to be found on eBay!
