Description
PooleCharger Vintage Italian Ceramic Figure - Boy with Billy Goat Signed "Vietri, Made in Italy," and Donkey Marked This auction is for a charming clay figurine found among our 100-year-old grandmother's things. It is one of a set of four she had displayed around her cool California-modern house as long as any of us can remember! It depicts a boy and his billy goat. This piece is made to be hung on the wall. (The other three pieces in the set are mounted on a wooden board to be hung as a plaque. This one was never mounted this way.) The ceramic piece is 7 " tall, 5" wide and 1 7/8" deep. All of my research on these pieces have led to Guido Gambone, for although the name Gambone doesn't appear on the piece, it is signed with his signature stick-figure donkey as well as "Vietri, Made in Italy." All four pieces in the set are signed in a similar manner. This auction is for one piece only. The others are listed separately. To get very specific about condition: -The glaze has a matte/porous feel and appearance, rather than lustrous/shiny. Unsure of what original appearance was. -There is a visible break-and-repair on the cactus the boy holds. -Two of the boy's bangs are broken. One was done during manufacture and has glaze over the broken end. -There is a small glaze chip on the goat's chest. Please email me with any questions before bidding. I am happy to provide additional photos or details if you need them. Domestic shipping will be $9.95 via USPS Priority. I will happily combine shipping at the best price and am also happy to ship internationally. Please email me for a quote or any additional information. I accept credit cards through Paypal. I appreciate prompt payment (within 7 days of close of auction, please) and will ship quickly upon receipt of payment. Bid with confidence, and good luck!
