Splendid and very graceful religious statue from the Mid-Century representing the Virgin Mary (Our Lady of Grace), made by the famous Italian manufacture of Capodimonte during the 1960s. This piece of sacred art in Naples porcelain is distinguished by its classic drapery and the finesse of its underglaze painting. It depicts the Holy Virgin crushing the serpent of original sin underfoot, her open hands spreading her graces. Authenticity is confirmed by its original gold leaf relief oval label, a prestigious signature of the factory. The silhouette combines a pastel azure blue cloak highlighted with fine gold with a pure white dress. The base features its numbered mold mark "559" as well as its period provenance mention "Italy" painted under the glaze. A magnificent object of devotion or display with timeless charm.
