      I don’t know of the mark of the dwarf
      But watch out when they come back to life

      It is an Italian mark : Ginori. Great find.
    3. vetraio50 vetraio50, 3 years ago
      I found one similar but more colourful on the net by searching “gnomo Ginori “.
    4. vetraio50 vetraio50, 3 years ago
      Another search term is “Caramogi” the plural of “Caramogio” an Italian form of ‘grotesque’.

      NOT an authentic 19th century Ginori. Never judge porcelain by marks only, they should be in harmony with the entire piece and this is way far from Ginori quality; look at the hat and unfinished brush strokes.

      Hello I just looked around I couldn't find much
    8. vetraio50 vetraio50, 3 years ago
      One site mentions that : “ These small figures inspired from a series of drawings by Jacques Callot’s entitled, “Grosteque Dwarves” dating back to 1616. .....
      With a cobalt blue Doccia Ginori mark on the underside, a G under the Crown of Naples, stand on circular bases and date back to late 19th century.
      According to historical facts, the figures were actually real-life dwarves who were hired to stand outside of the Royal courts, wearing advertisements.”

      I wonder what a light wash might do. I take Ivan’s point about the colors.
