AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Italian figurine Pulcinella — C. Mollica — Capodimonte — Made in Italy

Beautiful Italian porcelain figurine representing Pulcinella, the famous character of Neapolitan Commedia dell’arte, dressed in his traditional white costume and black mask, holding a broom.

The piece is signed on the base 'C. Mollica', with the traditional N crowned and the inscription 'MADE IN ITALY'. It is attributed to Carlo Mollica's production, a Neapolitan workshop known for its decorative porcelain sculptures in Capodimonte style.

The sculpture stands out for the great finesse of its modeling: very detailed hands, folds of the costume, expressive mask, hair worked individually, and a richly decorated rocky base. The broom completes the composition and reinforces the theatrical character of the scene.
