Exceptional Signed Rooster and Hen Ceramic Sculpture by Guido Cacciapuoti
August 27, 2023 – 5:52 pm
Among those who collected his work were Prince George of England and Umberto II, the last King of Italy. With the establishment in 1927 of his porcelain factory in Milan, Cacciapuoti’s success rested significantly on his Art Deco-style busts and his animal sculptures, such as the Rooster and Hen offered here. Cacciapuoti did a number of iterations on the theme of Rooster and Hen, but none as detailed or as colorful as the one offered here. Bearing the creator’s label and signature, the sculpture stands eleven inches tall and just over eight inches wide. It is in exceptional condition, with no chips, flea bites, cracks, scratches, scuffs, or color loss. Measurements: 11″ (h) x 8.25″ (w) x 6 (d).
Famille Rose Chinese Export Porcelain Cranes Pair 17 Exceptional Qing MINT
October 22, 2020 – 2:20 am
This lot contains a perfect pair of Chinese Famille Rose porcelain crane figures with impressed seals on the base of each one. My best estimate of age based on styles of the periods, materials, style and scale, is that these were likely made in the late part of the 19th or early part of the 20th century. They don’t often come up in pairs and almost never do you find them without some sort of damage or repair. These are exceptional in every way. These were made in a variety of styles, scales and color motifs. I quite prefer the more muted soft tones of these, reminiscent of Chinese “blanc de chine” pure white wears. The maker made no mistakes on this pair. Each measures 17 tall. Both are in pristine condition with no damages, no repairs and no alterations of any kind. I live in Montana where, often, in the early spring, if you find yourself in the countryside, you might catch a rare sighting of these beautiful cranes in muted tones sillouetted against the skyline at sunrise or sunset. These images come to mind when I view this lovely pair of birds. Please send a message if you should have any questions or need more information. I’ll gladly reply just as quickly as I can. These will come double boxed with plenty of room around each one to protect them from any damage en route to their destination. Thank you for viewing and have a lovely day.
