Item description:
Wonderful figurine depicting a little girl with a chicken, made of vitrified hard-paste porcelain, polychrome, entirely hand-decorated, signed under the base with a blue underglaze mark, with the letter "M," a crown underneath, and an X underneath, and finally the inscription "Foreign" in Italian. The sculpture dates back to the late 19th century, between 1880 and 1900. The artistic quality of the object is extremely high; note the simultaneously beautiful and charming face and the exquisite dress, richly pleated. Finally, the ceramic mix is ​​excellent, hard and rich in kaolin, a material typical of the earliest porcelains, when this material was not yet exhausted.
Information on artist and/or manufacturer:
The underglaze blue mark is very similar to those used by the Capodimonte factory, the manufacturer to which we can attribute the authorship of this sculpture, as is the style, which echoes many elements of the factory's late 19th-century artistic production. The object likely belongs to those artistic productions destined for foreign countries, usually exported to England, for which a different mark was also used, making it a rather rare piece. Capodimonte porcelain owes its name to the hilly area of ​​Naples, where in the first half of the 18th century, King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Maria Amalia of Saxony founded the Royal Factory of Capodimonte. In addition to the National Museum of Capodimonte, today the Royal Factory of Capodimonte Porcelain is home to the Caselli Institute, the advanced school of Capodimonte porcelain. The porcelain produced by this famous factory is also preserved in valuable quantities at the Duca di Martina Museum, at the Villa Floridiana, at the Filangieri Museum and at the Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes Museum.

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.
