Was wondering if anybody could tell me anything about these. They are porcelain figurines passed on from my grandmother. I remember her saying that they were quite old and valuable.
There's no stamps of any sorts on the bottoms. They measure 18" tall.
Update: Possibly from a retail store named Rosanna Originals in California. Possibly the 60's or 70's. Anybody know anymore about this store or these figurines?
My guess is Rosanna Originals was a retailer in the States who commissioned a pottery in Italy to make these.
@racer4four Yes, there seems to have been a retailer in the 60s named Rosanna Originals based in Southern California which is where my grandma is from. I think they might have specialized in lamps and home decoration. Does anyone know anything more about this store and perhaps these figurines?
Rosanna Originals was a family owned business that made lamps and lamp shades of really nice ceramic, crystal, brass, and other things. They were very high end. They went out of business with the passing of the principles Rose Yates and Anna Wendruck.
