History
Purchased in Italy early 1950's price unknown. Have been told hand signed before factory started stamping each piece. This was given to me by my Godmother and has been in family ever since. This piece has never been used just a decoration. It was appraised years ago for $1575.00 but have no idea if that is correct. I have not been able to find any other pieces like it any where on any sites.
