1959 GIUSEPPE CAPPE PORCELAIN MILITARY FIGURINE! POTTERY & GLASS & CHINA! SIMILAR TO SITZENDORF & SCHEIBE ALSBACH CERAMICS!

SHE STOPPED AT EVERY ANTIQUE STORE, AUCTION, FLEA MARKET, 'GARAGE SALE', ESTATE SALE...EVERY SALE SHE SAW! SHE WAS GUTSY...SHE EVEN STOPPED WHEN THERE WAS 'NO' FOR SALE SIGN, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING WONDERFUL ON THE PORCH OR IN THE YARD! EVERYTIME THE STATION WAGON FILLED UP SHE WOULD GO TO A SHIPPING STORE...UPS, FEDEX AND ENGLISH POST AND WOULD HAVE THEM PACKED IN A BOX AND SHIP THEM HOME TO SAN FRANCISCO! THIS BEAUTIFUL AND QUITE RARE PORCELAIN FIGURE STANDS 9 3/8" TALL AND IS ON A 1/2" BASE THAT IS ABOUT 3" IN DIAMETER!
