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.
I found one similar but more colourful on the net by searching “gnomo Ginori “.
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.
Well thank you very much for the comments vitra 50 and Ivan I will look it up thank you so much
Hello I just looked around I couldn't find much
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.
Vetraio thank you so much
I'll try to do some searching later couldn't find anything yet thank you again so much
