Made by the very famous French manufacture of Sevrès, signed behind the base, with mark from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Beautiful old patina.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:Surely it is a model produced for Sevrès in 1700 by artists such as Etienne Falconet, Louis Falconet, Lambert or Nicolas Adam, or perhaps even more likely Marie-Anne Collot, adopted daughter of Etinne Falconet who loved very much making busts, in the last photos we have put one of his beautiful terracotta bust. Then the French manufacture kept the mold of the work and re-proposed it, many years later, as it usually did. Truly rare piece and gorgeous in all respects. We have also put a photo of a small biscuit figurine auctioned to give you an idea of the value of the Sevrès biscuits, and consider that 25% of the auction fees must always be added to the price of the hammer.Final thoughts on the subject:The biscuits of the Sevrès manufacture are the most beautiful and the most sought after and of value among all the biscuits produced by all European manufacturers. By far they have always been considered the most beautiful and most expensive, just look for the results of some Sevrès biscuit auction and you will realize it. In particular, this bust is of unique beauty and elegance. Not even the slightest smudge, perfect plastic execution, the hair, the drapery, the eyes, the open mouth, the fabulous hairstyle, extremely particular, the beauty of the bow behind them, and the most beautiful thing of all: the charming, lascivious dimple on the chin, a touch of a true master. I assure you live it is even more beautiful, although small in size it has a truly rare quality of execution. Even the material used is of the highest quality a thick, compact biscuit with a porous and slightly frizzy surface.
