Item Description
Exquisitely hand-decorated porcelain sculpture atop wooden base has impressive overall size of 12.5x15x10" tall. Sculpted by Enzo Arzenton, who first started producing sculptures for the Laurenz Disney Collection in 1983 and continued to do so until he retired in 1999, at which time production on all Disney pieces ceased. This piece was first released in 1990 w/an issue price of $1,890. The production run was supposed to be 2,500 pieces, but as w/nearly every piece in this line, final production was much more limited. This particular piece had just 207 produced. The underside of the wood base and individual issue number on accompanying certificate states it is #101 of 2,500 only because these certificates were prepared in advance to the actual production of the sculptures. Sculpture incorporates some of the film's most popular characters including Mickey Mouse as The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the Sorcerer Yen Sid (Disney spelled backwards), two brooms w/buckets, ostrich, hippo, satyr and sprite. Front has scroll reading "Walt Disney's Fantasia - 50th Anniversary" and below this on the wood base is "Laurenz" plaque. Does not come w/original box but sculpture is Mint as issued. An extraordinary sculpture which is a must-have for collectors of Fantasia and Capodimonte. From the Tomart Archives and comes with COA signed by Tom Tumbusch.
