AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

"Jimmy Melody", a hand-decorated porcelain figure designed by LPWK Laura Polinoro and Massimo Giacon for Alessi, part of the Nativity Scene, this corresponds to AMGI45SET of the year 2014.

Attention to detail and Massimo Giacon's characteristic artistic style are evident in every piece, making this nativity scene not just a decoration, but a collectible work of art. The nativity perfectly encapsulates the blend of humor and reverence that defines much of Giacon's work, offering a unique addition to any Christmas decoration.

Excellent condition, barely used, with minimal signs of age and wear (see detail in photographs).

Vintage collectible object, out of production, very difficult to find.

Measurements: cm 4.5 x 4.5 - h cm 5
