Porcelian Giuseppe Armani Figurine

Description

Today I went to an estate auction, and bought a 1994 Florence "Late Again" Giuseppe Armani figurine for $16. It is in MINT condition- not a single chip anywhere -and has multiple stickers underneath the base. His signature is on the figurine (and as far as I can tell, is a genuine Armani piece) as well as the blue N, which is on other Armani pieces. The wood base has a gold plaque of his name on it. The piece itself is of a young woman leaning against a small pedestal, holding a heart shaped purse on the arm that is on her hip. Under the figurine are three stickers: "1973 F Florence sculture d'arte Original Giuseppe Armani Figurines", "Art - 0631 - C Damina Con Borsetta - "Late Again" Late Again Made in Italy", and another "Made in Italy".

I'm curious to know if this figurine is worth any money, and if so, how much. Please reply, and thank you in advance for your help! :)

Also, if you need more information, I'll be happy to give you it.

These Armani  Figurines  and other like them have been produced for the Collectibles market since the 1970's, in some cases as "Limited Editions". Sadly even 30 years on most have not even held a portion of their original retail value, still you did well, most of them have sold for over $100.00 at auction this past year.

Thanks for replying! Sad to know it isn't worth as much as I would hope for. :)
