This is a porcelain piece made by Lejanci. The measurements are 11x 16. I would like to know how old this piece is.
It was a present from my dad to my mom when they first got married around 1945 after World Wall II. I inherited it after my mom pasted away. She treasured this piece and I will always have it in my possession and treasure it also
I would like to know what era this piece came from. Also does Lejanci have any other figurines made?
Can we have a look at the mark?
I just posted the markings on the figurines and also a photo of the back of the piece. There are no other markings on it.
I think this is Carmelo Ganci.
A manufacturer of ceramic products in Milan after WWII in via Altaguardia 11. He worked in grès, porcelain and faience in the classical style sometimes imitating Capodimonte, sometimes incorporating metal mounts.
"Manifattura ceramica di proprietà di Carmelo Ganci, attiva a Milano a partire dagli anni del secondo dopo guerra in via Altaguardia 11, che realizza una produzione di grès, porcellane e terraglie costituita da oggetti in stile classico e moderno d'arredo e d'uso, bomboniere, statuine sul tipo Capodimonte e copie di ceramiche e porcellane antiche.
Alcune delle ceramiche della manifattura sono ricoperte, con metodo galvanoplastico, in argento o rame argentato."

Thank you for your response. Very interesting and helpful.
I would love to get me responses on this figurine.
I think what looks like 'Le' in front of the Ganci is a 'C' for Carmelo.
Check out the signature on this figurine. I believe it is the same:

Yes the signature looks the same especially the handwriting. Thanks.
