Wonderful figurine depicting a fisherman child, in very fine white hard-paste porcelain, glazed, signed under the base with "N" under a five-pointed crown in blue under glaze. The sculpture can be dated to the first half of the 19th century, 1800-1850. Made by the Royal Fabbrica Ferdinandea of Naples until 1806, then from this date until 1834 the ownership of the factory passed to Ginori of Doccia. The sculpture could be from one manufacturer or another but it is practically the same thing. The artistic quality of the sculpture is very high, with remarkable attention to detail. The face is slightly inclined, we are at the beginning of the 1800s but the influence of the rococo style of the 1700s was still strong. Finally, the ceramic mixture is excellent, very hard and rich in kaolin. Absolutely ancient and 100% authentic brand. Beautiful patina on the unglazed edge under the base, testifying to the age of the piece, also demonstrated by the holes on the back, which were made only in the oldest porcelains, as a vent for heat, to prevent them from exploding during firing, being made in solid porcelain, not hollow, like the more modern ones. In the last photo we have put some historical notes on the manufacturing taken from the "Manuel de la porcelaine européenne" with some of the brands used, including ours, precisely brand number 8. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
