This is a nice Vintage Cybis Porcelain "Madame Butterfly" Rare Limited Edition Figurine. This piece is in pretty nice condition with nice condition with no nicks or breaks but the umbrella came loose from the glue as can be seen in the final pics and everything ships exactly as shown. The dimensions of this piece are 7 1/4” long x 5 1/2” wide x 12 3/4” tall.
Cybis introduced Madame Butterfly in 1984 at $2875; she sold for $3495 by 1988. On their 1993 price list she has been further increased, to $4875. This is one of those sculptures whose 1990s price increases defy any logic or reason: $4975 in 1995, and then $6500 in 1999 and afterward. Yet supposedly her original declared edition size was “never reduced” from 500, despite the studio no longer being in fulltime production after 1990. (I have not yet seen any of these for sale with a sculpture number higher than the 200s.) Madame Butterfly’s parasol has a bad reputation for coming unglued and as a result pieces are sometimes seen with it having been reattached in a different position or even missing altogether. The Cybis advertisement shows the original correct position of the parasol; she is 13.5” high with her parasol in the proper place.Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
