Depicting a child with a cello made by the famous italian ceramist and sculptor vincenzo bertolotti. Perfect condition and fairly large size. Look at the object held in your hand to realize this. In the last photo we have put biographical notes of the artist and his brands, from which it is clearly evident that the brand of our sculpture is the first used by the artist, which makes me date the sculpture around the end of the twenties.

useful information for the evaluation of the object:
from a search on the web we find that the ceramics of vincenzo bertolotti are offered from 300-400 euros up to about 2,000 euros for the largest and most beautiful, furthermore we found an auction result, made in a us auction house, very high, 3,000 euros plus auction fees, for a large ceramic sculpture depicting a mermaid boy.

final considerations on the object:
our sculpture is of absolute beauty, i have seen others but never as beautiful as this one, they were probably later re-editions, this one is instead of a quality and beauty in the decoration and glazing that has nothing to envy to the most beautiful ceramics of lenci or goldscheider, even the ceramic mixture has a completely different quality, heaviness and flavor compared to the ceramics of the '50s.
