Gambone or Gambone Era Small Ceramic Jug With Donkey

Description

Gambone or Gambone Era Small Ceramic Jug With Donkey. It's not signed "Gambone" on the bottom, but there is the word "Italy" with an elongated "Y," which I've seen on some of his pieces, as well as a depiction of a large-eared donkey on the side.
The bottom has a bit of the paint worn/flaked away at the edges -- see the photo. The whole thing is about 2-1/2" tall by just under 2" wide at the neck of the jug.
There's also a number on the bottom, meaning it might possibly have been produced in a Gambone or other studio as a copy.  At one time we had a decent collection of actual Gambone ceramics, most of which were sold a couple of years ago after my late husband's death, which is why I'm thinking there is a possibility it's a Gambone or Gambone factory piece.   Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
I’m reluctantly selling miscellaneous vintage jewelry, watches, artwork, ceramics and other collections and belongings my late husband acquired over a number of years.  Most were sold a few years ago, but I found another box full of miscellaneous items.
Because I can’t often relate the specific lots to specific purchase invoices (and I don’t have invoices for very many), I don’t always know the relative value of the items, but will indicate any info I have.  Steve knew all about the origins and sources of everything in his collections, but unfortunately that knowledge passed with him.  I'm also not a jeweler or antiques dealer, so I can't guarantee or certify the purity of the metal or material, the year if given, or origin. etc.    On watches, unless noted otherwise, if it’s a winding watch or the battery just happens to have some life left in it, I don’t know if it still works; I can’t easily open the backs to see what’s inside, and I’m hesitant to force something open.
My loss is hopefully your gain!   I hope this will be a great deal for you.
Note:  I generally insure items over or , so the shipping charges on some auctions include a bit more to cover part of that additional cost.
However, if more than one item is purchased, your additional shipping charge on each qualified auction drops to .00 each after highest indicated shipping cost.  If you choose to take advantage of this, please pay for your items all at one time, and/or message me or request an invoice total so I can make sure you're properly credited.
