Hi Javier
Looks a bit like a Bianconi creation in the body, but can't find any of his with a similar base......

Hi Paul,
I know, the base just doesnt look like Bianconi to me. All the "Harlequin (or Pierot)," thanks Leni, have rather simple bases. In looking at it more and more, the piece looks to me like a Barovier piece. I went through some auction catalogues I have and its eyes look like the Barovier "Cordonato" woman figure on the catalogue.
Also, I have another Barovier piece (a Vase) with a similar, large gold pedestal on it. Saying that, I havent seen Barovier pieces be so colorful before. Maybe its a side of Barovier and Toso, or Ercole Barovier himself that has been hidden from many before, lol.
