Anybody here a collector of antiques?

Since getting booted out of my old house to to greed I have bought a new one. Times are tight and I have this piece from my great aunt. Have searched high and low and have asked a few auction people and come in between 700 and 1500 dollars. Any one here that can help identify this piece. Only markings are handwritten on the bottom, made in Italy. 20181223-173040

Is that capodimonte porcelain? Take a photo of the marks on the bottom, and post that.

I think so. Pics coming.

By searching that mark, I might be worth more than I thought.

It appears to be a makers mark all right, but I'm not sure who's mark that is. I'd suggest you post links to your two photo's on figurine forums, or try looking here: FIGURINES SCULPTURE, POTTERY MARKS, FINE CHINA

Primestar that mark comes back to King Author the 7'th. Thought this piece was from the early 1800's but may be farther back. Barclay's now want's to see it.

That's amazing! Hopefully you hit the jackpot. Don't ship it anywhere without insurance!
