Featured Superb Find - Antique Italian Porcelain Statue - Need To Identified

I was surprised to get the signature; usually I'm good only for the mythology.

 

but you've already prove it,good for you!

 

Thought it would be nice to add this to the end:

 

Was trying to come up with a joke that started 'Or I on the other hand', but too tired. Thanks - very high praise from our sleuth par excellence!

 

Only half a joke, but still good for a giggle.

 

@Bronwen you did job better than this valuation company,i think you eligible for it

 

If the assessment was done without the aid of a well developed Internet, I cannot fault the preparer. It was only because Google suggested Poloniato to my search for Ploniato that I got there.

If you really want to see me hop up & down, rant & rave, get me started on cameo appraisals done by professional jewellers, particularly those who proudly put GIA after their name, as though that makes them an expert!!!!

 

yes,that's one thing i don't understand about that valuation company,why they didn't even use google to done the work,idk

 

Is this a valuation you had already obtained on the piece? I don't see a date, so can't tell when it was prepared.

 

actually yesterday before you found the "domenico poloniato" i still have 1 credit left in that site,so i try to submit,but alas,they're not better than you,i shall submit it to you than to them,hahaha

 

So, a fair fight then. They did a good job with identifying the scene & the source. Let's hope the valuation is within reason.
