Exquisitely hand-decorated porcelain sculpture atop wooden base has impressive overall size of 12x17x10.5" tall. Sculpted by Enzo Arzenton. He first started producing sculptures for the Laurenz Disney Collection in 1983 and continued to do so until he retired in 1999, production on all Disney pieces then ceased. This is the very first Disney piece he produced and it was first released in 1983 with an issue price of $2,370. Only 1,000 were produced and underside of base has large inked edition number of "745." Incredibly detailed scene features them gathered around a large table, all are in expressive poses. Dwarfs are shown eating, pointing, reaching for food, all the while Snow White is at the center of things trying to gain control of the dinner. Table has plates of food, utensils, cups, etc.
Front has scroll reading "Walt Disney's Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" and below this on the wood base is "Laurenz" plaque. Does not come with the original box or COA but sculpture is Mint as issued. An extraordinary sculpture which is a must-have for collectors of Snow White and Capodimonte. Very conservative opening bid based on issue price and current asking price on the secondary market. From the Tomart Archives and comes with COA signed by Tom Tumbusch & Ted Hake.
