Borsato #1274, Play Gypsy Play

Many figurines were produced in more than one version. Variations include earthenware or porcelain, size, combinations of details, coloring and personalizing. Values can vary greatly among variations of the same subject.

Borsato produced over one thousand different figurines

The early work was made of earthenware, or gres, a low fired clay which was a more economical method of production.
