Richard Ginori Italian porcelain Art Nouveau figurine of a mother holding a little girl by the hand, circa 1900–1910, measuring 12 × 5 × 6 cm and in like-new, unused condition.
Description from the seller
Art porcelain sculpture depicting a mother (or young girl wearing a distinctive bonnet) holding her little daughter by the hand. The model belongs to a series of popular costumed figurines created under the artistic direction of painter and designer Luigi Tazzini in the early 20th century. The work reflects the influence of the Northern European Art Nouveau style, evident in the flowing lines of the garments and the delicate, reclining posture of the faces.
The main figure’s green dress is hand-finished under glaze with the classic softly shaded rose-bouquet motif of the Doccia painting workshop.
Analysis of the marks on the base (Authenticity Guarantee):
• Green impressed “GINORI” mark with triangle symbol: Original impressed mark applied to the unfired porcelain, certifying its molding and initial firing at the historic Doccia factory.
• Red circular overglaze stamp reading “Decoration carried out by Richard Ginori”: Historic guarantee mark applied before the final firing, attesting that the painting and finishing were carried out in the manufacturer’s central workshops.
Condition:
The item is in excellent, pristine condition (like new / never used). The figurine is completely intact, with no cracks, hairline fractures, restorations, or even the slightest chip, including at the most critical and fragile points (such as the fingers and little hands of both figures). The glossy surface glaze and original color palette are perfectly preserved and vibrant. The only point to note is the normal, minimal period dust patina that has accumulated on the intentionally unglazed (biscuit-fired) porcelain beneath the feet, typical of authentic pieces from this period.
