    I posted this gal on the Bay a couple years ago but did not get much in the way of age,maker or if genuine? I also found a similar gal last night with the same heavy eye lids and face,also a similar red mark. Of course that one I found last night could also be fake.? I also read that LFabric is by Capodimonte. Very confused.

    She measures 8" X 6",wt.2 1/2 lbs. Of course she is missing some ruffle but I saw her at a T and had to buy her for 25.00. phpyBi0DPAM.jpg

    The last two pics are from the net for comparison.

    Italian. Luigi Fabris. I don't know this maker. The one mark I found on a quick Google scan looks different - the same LF combination but the other mark more of a monogram than an anchor. Too scant to be a reliable comparison.

    I think you would have to consider it a factory mark, applied by any number of other people. That teal blue one is the only one I spotted on my brief Google scan. And it's my info that is too scant to be reliable.

    I do think your figurine is of a like quality to the Fabris and may very well be. Just hoping someone more confident would come along.
