This faience figural group was produced in Bologna, Italy by Aurelio Minghetti in the early 1900s. This piece was sold by the retailer “Carbone” of Boston, who handled European imports from about 1910 to 1920. It measures 16 inches high, 9 1/2 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. It is well modeled and hand painted. The garments on the Madonna have colorful detail. There is a feel of serenity and ancient Mediterranean tradition in the piece. It displays beautifully in the round.
Condition: There is a chip on the side base that is barely visible and can be seen in the last photo; some insignificant abrasions, but no restorations or breaks.
Note: This piece weighs 8 1/2 pounds unpacked.
