Antique Victorian Porcelain Figurine Scene No Reserve Picture(s) and Description:

You don't see very many of these! This is no "cheapy" This is a very ornate Victorian ceramic porcelain scene of a young squire and two maidens cheerfully singing and playing a piece one afternoon. The detail is breathtaking, the lace and gold, the colors are bold. Attention to the finest detail, the fingers are flawlessly perfect. The hour glass waist on the women and the fine color patterns of their clothing denote honor and dignity in the artist's mind. This scene is 100% ceramic porcelain, no cloth. Weighing in at almost 10 pounds, it is 14 inches wide at it's oval base, 10 1/8 inches high at the tallest point and this would be the top of the maidens hairdo. The figures are 12.5 inches tall if they were standing. Yes this is of a respectable size. There will be two more pics coming in 14 hrs showing the backside and the factory stamp marking on it. It is marked with a hand painted marking that is painted over and underneath the baked glaze. It is called the Crown N mark used from 1771 to 1821 by the Capo-de mone factory in Naples Italy. This factory closed but many of the molds were purchased by the Ginori factory in Doccia Italy. The crowned N mark is still in use today, some German and French companies have also used copies of this mark. No other indicator of origin, however accompanying works with it incline toward German origin. It is truly a "jaw dropping" piece of work that surely attracts superlatives. It is of an appreciable age and has no doubt been through a couple of wars so there has been breakage but all professionally repaired. Two fingers on the maiden playing the mandolin have been broken but replaced as well has the floral table centerpiece, it was broken off the table and has been since fused back to the table and filed to perfection. There was also a ceramic crown on the base that was broken it has since been professionally removed and is 98% undetectable, a little patchwork on the flooring but looks nice all professionally repaired and looks very good. Indeed the work looks almost new. The work must have over 400 pieces to its composition, one less won't hurt it a bit. I can't stand the slightest scratch on my watch crystal and I like this piece so I know anyone else will love it. I'm going to risk it by having no reserve. These things sell for $400 or more. I must have lost my mind but if it sells too cheap I shall use the reserve option from now on even if only selling a BLT sandwich. Happy bidding!
