Please help ID these Don Quixote & Sancho Panza Pottery Figures.  

I was told that they were pretty rare, and valuable before my father passed away.

They are aprox 12" high, and very delicate pottery.  The hand painted signature are on the bottom of the horses.

I think the first name might be Gianni ... ?

Unfortunately, the ability to edit a post doesn't last very long. 

Why don't you start a new post about it in the Pottery, Glass & Porcelain group?

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Pottery-Glass-Porcelain/bd-p/275 -- I think Walter is more likely to be checking that one than he would this group.
