Hello Michael, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal, Considering the photographs, overall pattern, porcelain quality, painting quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Painted Porcelain “Putti” Figurine. The piece likely dates back to the period from 1950 to 1970. In appearance this piece looks English but with aspects of thin or non-glazed features it also is quite similar to Italian pieces from the mid century. Painting quality of the piece is average for the time period. When we observe the piece we can see that the colours used on it are quite pale in tones. This reflects the taste of the contemporary Italian pieces as well, can be seen in reproduction Capodimonte pieces. A putti or a cherub in English is a male or rarely female angel-like baby figure used in fine-arts. Although this piece lacks angelic signes the outline is very familiar to the concept. The piece is depicted in a happy state holding a grape bunch. There is no visible mark or signature underneath the piece. Likely a touristic quality item, a souvenir. The piece is in good condition without any visible significant problem. Entirely hand painted. Dimensions: Unknown. Condition: The piece is in good condition without any visible significant problem. Provenance: Previously owned by the current owner’s grandmother. 20-40$. Please don’t hesitate to reach us again for more online appraisals on your precious items, thank you for choosing Mearto.
