David Winter Cottages AUTOGRAPHED "Cornish Harbour" Figurine. From 1987, in MINT CONDITION in its ORIGINAL PACKAGING with all inserts...including the elusive little white-metal lamp post! And, oh yes...IT IS HAND-SIGNED BY DAVID WINTER!!! Hey, you won't find that on those auction sites. Signed in person at an event, in felt pen on the bottom of the figurine. WOW!! The box shows some minor shelf-wear. British sculptor David Winter is the son of famed sculptor Faith Winter...in the 1980's his gypsum stone figurines of English cottages became HOT collectibles, with "Cornish Harbour" being a classic! A coastal England village is depicted...complete with boats docking in front of a craggy fisherman's cottage. You just want to walk up the narrow streets of Cornwall and have a pint (or two) after looking at this. And the detail! It is what David Winter Cottages are all about. A real joy. This piece is LONG RETIRED and is only available on the secondary market when you can find them...and mostly, they are not HAND-SIGNED as this one is!! A true rarity. Hand-made and hand-painted in the studios of John Hine in Hampshire, England. Only one in stock.
