A fine example of a hand crafted and painted figurine of a Boy and Donkey pulling a fruit cart. Some of the fruit can be seen to have spilt off the back of the cart And the donkey can be seen with bended knee eating carrots Whilst the young male seems to be deep in thought .Absolutely great craftsmanship to produce such life like intricate detail as is on this piece.

This particular piece is finished with great care to detail and is all individually hand painted.
The porcelain has a bisque semi matt finish and is carefully fired at low temperatures, which produces a hardened bone china finish.
The artists signature, named "Cordessi ", can be seen at the back of the base. And there is the blue hand painted capodimonte N crown and ` Made in Italy’at base of the item and the number 336.

A limited number or examples of this splendidly modelled fisherman figurine would have been produced for a collectors market.

Capodimonte has risen considerably in value over the last 10 years and many lesser manufacturers have tried to copy the make with much poorer pieces, some being made of a fragile plaster mix.

Measurements: Length 38cm Height 18cm Width 14cm

Some glue spots seen around chain links (see photos ) and one side leather loop missing but does not effect the spectacular look of this fine very collectable piece.
