Female Musician 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 earthenware with a glaze that has a bluish tint in the thickest areas where it has pooled during the firing. The figurine is of a lady that seems to be dancing while holding something in her left hand above her (maybe some form of musical instrument like Castanets?). She is wearing a nice fancy shirt with a skirt. She stands on a very fancy base with lots of fine detail to it. The piece is in great condition with the pinkie of her left hand missing the tip and some spots where the glaze is gone and the darkened eartherware color shows through. A couple of tiny chips mostly along the frills of her blouse. All in all in superb condition considering this stuff is even more fragile than porcelain. The figurine is not marked but that's normal. It is 9.75 inches tall and the base is 3.75 inches wide and 3.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $399
