Hello Tracey, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal, Considering the photographs, overall pattern, porcelain quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Painted Large Size Animal Figurine of Two Swans. The piece dates back to the period from 1950 to 1970. The piece was made in Italy, labeled. In the composition, the swans were depicted while they we're kissing, almost sharing a single beak. The piece is a touristic quality item with only export purposes likely. The piece is hand coloured but the quality of the painting and the precision is quite low as usual to average export pieces from this period and from italy at the time. The swans are depicted on the lake and on the partial land as well. The glaze of the piece is very shiny, this is also usual to the period, this glaze usually creates rainbow looking reflections on the porcelain's surface. The piece was only labeled with a made in Italy label and was not marked by the artist or the producing atelier. The piece has decorative value but does not have a significant antique or a collectible value. The porcelain quality appears to be average. Heads of the swans are coloured in blue and rest of their body in pinkish-gray tones. The piece is in good condition without visible problems. Entirely hand painted. Dimensions: 40 Centimeters Long by 20 Centimeters High by 15 Centimeters Wide Condition: The piece is in good condition without visible problems. Provenance: Inherited from the current owner's grandmother, generational inheritance. 30-40$.
