Dino Bencini Italian Figurine Flower Woman Gardener Ceramic Signed Italy Kitschy

Dino Bencini Italian Figurine Flower Woman Gardener Ceramic Signed Italy Kitschy This sculpture is a creation of Italian artist Dino Bencini. He is noted for whimsical ceramic portrayal of everyday people. This whimsical and kitschy piece is in great condition. The dimensions are: 5.5" On the flowers there is an area that is painted brown which I do not know if originally meant like that or is a broken area. Below the purple flower head there is an area that looks like it was a leaf but now it is only the stem. Since these are made by hand no two are exactly the same so not sure if these are breaks or intended.
