My mother left this figurine when she passed. Have no idea where she found it, or when it was produced. The amazing thing is that it is flawless (unlike most of her possessions). Have asked around and even attended an Antiques Road Show, showed a photo, but no luck. I’ve included front and back photos including the mark. Anyone have an idea what I have, and is it worth more than sentimental value?
Thanks in advance. Art

Your figurine was made by the B Merli Factory in the capodimonte region !! The link above you can find his factory mark in the last row !! Look for your figurine under his name and the title ,,,, and as Capodimonte !! Capodimonte is just a region where the porcelain and ceramic items were made !! It is not a brand name !! Many factories operated there !!
