Ceramic Soldiers - Italian

Profile picture for user philandval
By philandval, 11 September, 2013
Description

We have owned these items over 30 years and have been unable to find out very little about them.   We believe these two ceramic soldiers are dressed in the uniform of the Italian regiment, attached to Napoleons army during his invasion of Italy.  They are approximately 3ft 3ins tall, weight 28.4lbs and are in near perfect condition.  There is a small crack on the base of one of the soldiers.  They bear a makers mark which has some kind of initial or image before the word "Italy".  We would love to get more information about them and also have them appraised with a view to selling them.
