Pair of Ceramic Figures of Swans, probably Chinese reproductions late C20th
A pair of ceramic figures of swans, their heads bowed and wings outstretched, decorated in brightly coloured enamels of blue, yellow and iron red with gilt highlights, the bases with a circular aperture and a stamped gilt mark depicting a bird and a globe above the words 'Fine Porcelain'. The style of these pieces closely resembles the products of the Italian firm 'Manifattura Italiana Porcellane Artistiche Fabris', established by the sculptor Luigi Fabris in 1916, which produced high quality ceramic items for much of the C20th, finally being sold by Luigi's son Augusto to the Elite Company in 1979. Indeed there are examples of a very similar swan figure, clearly marked with the Italian factory's name, which was produced by them. But the mark here, on the other hand, cannot be identified with any certainty and looks more to be a generic mark similar to others employed by Chinese manufacturers on pieces made in imitation or in the style of European originals, suggesting production in the East rather than the West with a dating most likely to the late twentieth century.| Size: | Ht (max) 12cm, Width (max) 20cm |
