Exceptional signed Italian parrot sculpture by Cacciapuoti, produced in a documented limited edition of 500 examples. This piece is hand-signed and numbered 9/500, with original Italian maker labels intact on the base. A large, finely detailed work with strong form, lifelike coloration, and excellent surface preservation. The sculpture depicts a macaw perched on a naturalistic tree trunk base. The modeling shows high attention to feather texture, anatomical accuracy, and layered hand-applied coloration. This example presents in near-mint to mint condition with no damage, no repairs, and no losses observed. Original labels confirm Italian origin and authenticity. Medium: Hand-painted ceramic sculpture. Edition: Limited edition, numbered 9 of 500. Signature: Hand-signed “Cacciapuoti” on base. Height: 17 1/4 inches. Width: approximately 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. Weight: 5 lb 0.6 oz. Condition: Near-mint to mint condition. No chips, cracks, restorations, or structural issues noted. Labels: Original Italian maker labels present. This is a substantial, display-scale sculpture intended for collectors of Italian studio ceramics and limited-edition decorative art. Properly attributed, signed, and numbered examples of this size are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in this level of condition. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. I’m always happy to provide more photos and answer any questions.
