Naples Commedia Figure

This is a very rare large figurine called "The Fainting" supposedly of the Commedia dell'arte characters in street clothing made by Naples ( Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea ) around 1775. Looks more like a scene from Hogarth to me :) The Capodimonte factory existed near Naples from 1743 until 1759 when it was moved to Buen Retiro. The Naples factory was founded by Ferdinand IV in 1771 and made mostly softpaste at first and later went to soft and hard paste porcelain and looked similar to Capodimonte porcelain but they also worked in other pastes and ceramics. It was around until 1806 when the French occupied it and after that the molds, etc. were sold all over the place. The figurine is made of a superb softpaste and consists of 5 figurines and a sheep on top of a large rock formation type base. There is the fainting lady in the center being held up by one of the gentlemen, another gentleman poses a bit like Napoleon, a boy sits in the front holding the sheep and another lady is on the right side looking at the two figures in the center. The figurine is in decent condition for the size and age but obviously not perfect. The base was broken (I think) and repaired at some point and it is hard to see what exactly was damaged. There is flaking to the paint all around, whatever the gentleman on the left side was holding in his right hand is broken off, one of the sheep's ears is restored, the neck of the lady on the right side was broken, the right leg of the gentleman in the back center is redone and there are some small chips to bows, flowers, etc. It sounds worse than it looks and the figurine is absolutely stunning and very rare! It is unmarked except an area I thought might be incised writing but I cannot make anything out. The entire piece is about 10 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 8 inches deep. This piece is also pictured in the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea book and I added three pics of that. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
