Look around the base on the outside for another mark. It looks like a Capo Di Monte figurine to me.

Look at some of these pics. There are several that are in the same style

I have seen a few capodimonte pieces and none have a signature like this.... really kind of weird. The style is similar but the stamps do not match.

You are correct,i don,t think this is a Capo,...any Capo,i,ve seen,including the one on my topic two cats, has a Crown with an N below,..this looks like a private piece,

I think this is an awesome piece just unusual signature. The piece itself is very professional. Just dont want to sell it not knowing what it is? Does anyone know what it can possibly be beside Capodimonte?
