I see this (unless you can see where the plate has come off--there would be glue stains or tiny nail holes) as an homage to an Armani Capodimonte Figurine Couple In Swing figurine. This theme of figurine was quite popular in the 1980s and was a frequent wedding/engagement gift.

The color and quality of paint on your piece does not look like a true Armani Capodimonte.

Sadly, both the real thing and the homage pieces don't have value in the market like they did pre-2008 when the market tanked.

There was an Armani piece that (shockingly to me) sold recently for 99.00 + shipping. Why I say shockingly is they seemed to charge a very high shipping fee. When I see this in solds I think it is a money laundering/shill bid/or some other scam bid.

I could be wrong. The seller doesn't have many feedbacks and none that I can see for similar pieces, which to me is suspicious.

I have seen them sell in the $40-70 range.

The homage pieces in the $10-40 range.

I see this is many in Italy but do you have any other information from the bottom of the figurines? It would help to know who made this in order to find it easier and give you more information about it.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately there are no other markings on the figurine apart from some sticky residue on one corner of the base which once held sticker that potentially cold have told us more.
