Item description:
Beautiful, extraordinary, rare sculpture in enamelled casting ceramic, decorated entirely by hand and finally glazed. Depicting a child with a cello made by the famous Italian ceramist and sculptor Vincenzo Bertolotti. Perfect condition and fairly large size. Look at the object held in your hand to realize this. In the last photos we have put biographical notes of the artist and his brands, from which it is clearly evident that the brand of our sculpture is the first used by the artist, which makes me date the sculpture around the end of the twenties.
Useful information for the evaluation of the object:
From a web search we find that Vincenzo Bertolotti's ceramics are offered from 300-400 euros up to around 2,000 euros for the largest and most beautiful ones, furthermore we found an auction result, made in a US auction house, very high, 3,000 euros plus auction fees, for a large ceramic sculpture depicting a mermaid boy.
Final thoughts on the subject:
Our sculpture is of absolute beauty, I have seen others but never as beautiful as this one, they were probably later re-editions, this one is instead of a quality and beauty in the decoration and glazing that has nothing to envy to the most beautiful Lenci or Goldscheider ceramics, even the ceramic mixture has a completely different quality, heaviness and flavor compared to the ceramics of the '50s.
Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
Vincenzo Bertolotti is the owner of the ceramic factory "V.B.C.M" (Vincenzo Bertolotti Ceramiche Milanesi) active since the late 1920s. In the years after the Second World War, the company changed its name to "Bertolotti Ceramiche", a factory for the production of traditional and modern stoneware, earthenware and porcelain, based in Milan in via G. B. Nazari 2.

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY
Aware that we operate in the eBay market, our prices are often lower than the prices at which very similar objects are offered on other online sales platforms, the prices at which they are offered by art galleries in cities such as Rome, New York or London and also the best auction results achieved by similar objects, which, overall, can give an indication of the value of the object, while lower auction results or sales at low prices, by inexperienced sellers who do not know the real value of the object, should, in our opinion, be considered as a stroke of luck for the buyer rather than an indication of the value of the object. The price we ask is always the lowest possible considering how much was paid for the object and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21%, depending on the country in which the object was sold) because we prefer to retain many customers by earning less on the single object, focusing on quantity.

For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED
The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost.

OUR SHIPMENTS:
.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
