Creamware Musician Couple Figurine

This is a figurine made in Italy in the 18th century probably by the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea or Le Nove. It is made of some sort of creamware type ceramic with a glaze that has a bluish tint in the thickest areas where it has pooled during the firing. A really nice looking figure that is of and lady and gentleman musician stanidng on a rock base. She is playing a guitar while he is playing the violin. The piece is very detailed for this type of ware and looks to be an extremely high quality piece. Sadly I do not know a whole lot about these types of wares but it's certainly an early and good quality figurine! The piece is in good condition with some minor nibbles normal to this type of figurine, she has the guitar end missing and a nibble to her left index finger plus three fingers of her right hand are chipped. He has damage to four fingers of his right hand and the violin bow is missing and two chipped fingers on his left hand and the end of the violin is missing as well. It sounds worse than it is and it display beautifully! The figurine is not marked but that's normal and really does not help me make an ID at all :( The figurine is 9.25 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $699
