    I've been looking, on and off, at this since mid-April. Nobody has bought it although I think it is reasonably priced at €10.

    I like this, but my wife is not keen on pottery hanging on the wall, so I'm not sure whether to raise her ire and buy it. So it needs to be something special or something that should resell easily. Why has nobody else been impressed with it?

    I am I missing something; or am I seeing something others are not? Her fingers are a bit chubby, but some people have chubby fingers. There are no marks on the back.

    Appreciate your views; be brutal if you must. Thanks.

    Not for me. Can’t see a makers mark. Looks bit like Capodimonte, there’s better stuff to spend your cash on, maybe something your wife likes!! Win, win.

    I doubt it to be very old because the back is so clean! But I am not a figurine specialist.

    This sort of figurine would probably have had another plaque of a partner to go with it, as a pair. I'm not convinced this is a woman, looks like a man to me. While it seems fairly well done, I'm not impressed, I'd not hang it up on my wall either.

    It is a little bland for my taste. No wonder it is still sitting there for a month at that price.

    As above. It is a young man and one of a pair.

    It doesn’t do it for me I’m afraid. I’m with your wife!
