Three statues hold grapes and the fourth holds a loaf of bread. They stand on round stepped bases painted with blue trim. Each putto wears a crown of grape leaves of which careful attention to detail has been given.

Italian pottery, C 1920. They are marked for Agostinelli Dal Pra'. The company operated outside of Venice from1887-1952. During my research I saw several lamps and bowls that were made by the company. I did not find any figurines or putti.

Measurements; average 7” high and base is 2 ½” in diameter

Condition Report; all have small chips due to the delicate nature and design. I have tried to capture these in close up pictures.
