This item is the elegant "Joy" figurine by Giuseppe Armani, model 1527C, selected as the 2002 Figurine of the Year by the Florence Sculpture d'Arte collection. A celebration of grace and refinement, this porcelain sculpture features a poised young woman in a flowing blue and ivory gown, gently raising her arm while holding a floral basket of pink roses in the other hand.
Standing 10.5 inches (27 cm) tall and weighing 692 grams, the figurine is delicately detailed, from the wide-brimmed hat with floral accent to the expressive, hand-painted face. Crafted in fine porcelain with a soft glazed finish, it rests securely on a wooden display base with the signature Florence nameplate, and comes complete with the original box, Certificate of Authenticity, and limited edition paperwork.
