Product information
VINTAGE FINE PORCELAIN ARDALT CAPODIMONTE BISQUE MUSIC BOX WITH VIOLINIST + HARPIST FIGURINES
ULTIMATE Beauty in a Vintage Hand Made + Painted Item. Fine Porcelain registered as a Trademark by ARDALT Inc Corp in New York and used in 1945. The Figure is BISQUE and composed of the FINEST PORCELAIN with a Built in Music Box. The Bronze wind-up key is situated at the back and to the side is a switch for turning the Music on or off. The Item itself has a SUPERB Dresden Type Base with Classical Gold Trim in the scroll pattern. Raised Capodimonte Porcelain Flowers are placed abundantly around the base with soft but GORGEOUS colors. A Couple dressed in Gold and Colorful Period dress are seated while playing musical instruments, he a Violin and the Lady, a Harp.
There is an opening at the back on the opposite side to the Music Box Key, where a Night Light (globe) is meant to be fitted as the Porcelain at this area is VERY fine. The Globe or Night Light has been removed. This fact was at first NOT apparent and the item appeared PERFECT until I researched it and found the exact copy which in the Link below mentions the "night light"

The Male figurine is missing his Bow and a small portion for the front of the violin. The Lady has a missing right forearm. These defects are not noticeable except on studying the item closely. Otherwise this item including the Capodimonte Flowers and Music Box are in PERFECT condition with NO damages, cracks or chips except as mentioned above.
A Silver Label shaped similar to a shield is on the back
