AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important Lenci ceramic sculpture, model no. 775, “Madonna of Love,” by Helen König Scavini, distinguished by its delicate pastel blue coloring, outstretched hands, and two small birds at the base. 29 × 19 cm.
Marked on the base “Lenci – Made in Italy – Torino,” as shown in the photographs, and bearing the decorator’s initials.
The ceramic is in very good condition, with well-preserved colors and only very minor signs of wear.
For the sake of transparency, I should mention an old repair reattaching the little finger of the right hand. The repair is virtually imperceptible when viewing the sculpture from the front; a fine join line is visible on the back. This detail is documented in the photographs, and I can provide additional close-up images on request.
The photographs form an integral part of the description and show the item’s actual condition.
Local pickup in the Turin area or shipping with careful packaging.
