Any Capodimonti -Bruno Merli collectors here?
I was thinking of listing several little collections I've accumulated over the years, one of which is a Bruno Merli porcelain figurine. I figured looking up on the internet what she would be called and her worth might be nowadays, was my best bet. To my surprise I found one that was similar except for small discrepancies...like the color of her boots, color of her hat, color of her riding whip and stuff like that. Made me wonder if what I got is really the real thing. I also wondered if Bruno Merli made several figurines with different distinctions as his signature is clearly on the base of the figurine along with the N + crown and the year it was made. Is anyone here a collector or appraiser who would be able to help me distinguish whether this is the real Bruno Merli I happen to have? I'd be happy to add a picture but wanted to ask first.
