Giuseppe Armani Florence Figurine (lower section)

This item is a Giuseppe Armani Florence figurine, specifically appearing to be a portion of a larger human figure, likely female, depicted wearing a flowing gown or drapery. The visible part of the figurine consists of the lower section of the garment, which is rendered in a soft, light blue tone, exhibiting delicate folds and pleats that suggest movement and a light fabric. The garment seems to transition into a lighter, possibly white or cream, color at the hem, creating a subtle two-tone effect. The material appears to be 'capodimonte' porcelain or a similar composite, known for its fine detail and smooth, often matte, finish, although some areas show a slight sheen. The figurine is mounted on a circular base made of a white, possibly ceramic or composite, material. This circular base is subtly textured with concentric rings or patterns and features a decorative gold-colored band running along its edge. Attached to the front of this white base is an oval brass-colored plaque that reads 'FLORENCE' prominently, with 'GIUSEPPE ARMANI' inscribed below it, identifying the artist and the collection. The entire assembly - the figurine and its white base - is securely affixed to a darker, rectangular wooden plinth. This plinth has a rich, deep brown wood grain, possibly walnut or mahogany, and features a clean, simple bevel along its edges, indicating a relatively modern or classic design. The overall condition appears to be good, consistent with proper care, showing no visible major chips, cracks, or repairs. The craftsmanship suggests a high-quality production, typical of Armani's work, known for its intricate detailing and realistic portrayal. The estimated age would align with Giuseppe Armani's active period, likely late 20th century.
