Lady & Gentleman Figurine

This is a fun figurine made in Italy in about 1780. I am thinking it was made by Le Nove but Cozzi or Naples are also quite possible but either way is is a great figure. The piece is of a lady and gentleman sitting on a nice base with a tree trunk growing out of the center and an apple on the ground. The lady has a bottle and a glass in her hands while the gentleman has a cup and possibly a snuff box in his hands. She has a nice flower in her hair while he is wearing a hat. A really nice figurine that is in great condition with the top of the tree missing, a chip to two of her fingers, the tip of his right foot is missing and the usual firing issues one finds on these pieces including a giant brown firing spot on the base behind his foot. As is pretty normal there is no maker's mark so that doesn't help but it is definitely Italian from the 118th century. The piece is 5.5 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 3.375 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
