<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Brassey, post: 10131393, member: 15277&quot;]I stuck my neck out and bought these yesterday. I haven&#039;t collected them yet but on viewing them I can confirm that they are extremely well modelled and painted. One figure has the tip of a finger missing and they need the bolted pedestal bases tightening but they are very high quality. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, although they were sold as Samson (and they may well be) my feeling in viewing was that they are Italian. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, despite extensive searches I have not managed to find any other examples of these figures and have not found any other porcelain figures with bolted on bases. They are large figures at 26cm tall (including the bases).</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctions.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk/auctions/9110/ibcla11007/lot-details/3af11a77-01d5-4a20-833b-b22f00f1d0d1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk/auctions/9110/ibcla11007/lot-details/3af11a77-01d5-4a20-833b-b22f00f1d0d1" rel="nofollow">https://auctions.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk/auctions/9110/ibcla11007/lot-details/3af11a77-01d5-4a20-833b-b22f00f1d0d1</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
