Description
PooleCharger Vintage Italian Ceramic Figure - Donkey with Mother and Child Signed "Vietri, Made in Italy," and Donkey Marked This auction is for a wonderful clay figurine found among our 100-year-old grandmother's things. It is one of a set of four she had displayed around her mid-century modern house as long as any of us can remember! It depicts a donkey holding a woman holding a child. This piece mounts on a wooden board to be hung as a plaque. The ceramic piece itself is 7 1/2" tall, 5 1/2" wide and 3" deep. The wooden board (easily unbolted) is 11" by 5 1/2". 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." On this piece, the marks are partially obscured but 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 repaired break on the donkey's right rear leg. Along the crack there are two small chips of glaze missing. -The tip of the woman's nose is slightly darkened, but it doesn't seem to be a chip. 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!
