AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Let yourself be enchanted by the freshness and expressiveness of this magnificent figurative sculpture in fine porcelain, entirely molded and hand-painted by a historic Italian artistic manufactory from the mid-20th century. The piece vividly depicts a young shepherd boy in traditional clothes with a feathered hat, holding on a string a lively little goat that holds a flower in its mouth.

On the base of the object is the original hand-painted mark with the initials "F.P.", flanked by two stars and the inscription "ITALY". This historic Venetian manufactory (active in the Nove and Bassano del Grappa district) distinguishes Italian post-war artworks inspired by the famous Capodimonte porcelain models and by the well-known German-area figures such as Meissen and Goebel-Hummel. The attention to detail is impeccable: from the expressive look of the boy to the colored feathers on the hat, down to the finest naturalistic details and the delicate modeling of the animal.

Every shade of color is applied with a brush, giving the object an unmatched soul and uniqueness. The scene’s dynamism and the glossy porcelain finish make it a perfect focal point for shop windows, antique display cabinets, or prestigious interiors. Produced between the 1950s and 1960s, it is in good preservation condition, showing signs of age in keeping with its era that underscore its antiquity.

An unmissable opportunity for lovers of fine porcelain art and Made in Italy collecting.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
