AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Piece created and entirely hand-painted by Elsa Lagorio, historical artist and decorator of the prestigious Turin manufactory LENCI (where she worked from 1946 to 2955) in her subsequent autonomous workshop in Turin. The piece stands out for its execution quality, the extraordinary brilliance of the enamels, and the unmistakable stylistic imprint of the great 20th-century Turin ceramic school. Signature under the belly of the little donkey (E.L.). The work is in generally good condition. It presents a very small chip under the donkey's hoof that does not compromise its beauty and collectible value. Shipping with professional packaging included, insured.

Seller's Story

I am an old antique dealer. I closed the shop during the Covid period and stored all the objects, from paintings to curios, “hundreds of pieces of every kind” that I now sell through authorized platforms like Catawiki. 50 years of experience in the field.
