Early Lady w/ Dog Figurine

This is a really nice figurine that has been a mystery of mine for a few years now but I finally figured her out. First I thought it was made by Copenhagen but that was a no go, then Kloster Veilsdorf but recently I came across an old paper written in the 1960s about a peasant lady figurine that matched my lady to the point. She was made by an Italian company called Vinovo during their first period in the 18th century when Hannong was still involved. It's an extremely rare piece and there are almost no known examples from this period so to have one in this condition is truly amazing! The underside matches their early figures as well. Also same straps across the bodice, same colors and so on. So now I have finally figured her out after all these years. Exciting - I know :) I even found another figure that was one of the four seasons so this one is probably part of the set and represents Fall / Autumn. The figurine is superbly modeled and hand painted. It is of a lady with a basket in front of her with a bottle sticking out. She has a black and white dog by her side which is super cute! The figure is in superb condition with some firing crack that are mostly on the underside but are slightly visible along the edge of the base and she has one in her skirt area as well which I have shown in the photos. No real damage which is amazing. The bottom is marked with an incised number 2 but nothing else. The piece is 4.125 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $3999
