The Playing Chess, and Woman Bowling pieces looks like they are in excellent condition. The other pieces are not in as nice a condition. Some may be chipped, cracked, or repaired. Please view all photos to see more details on their condition. What you see is what you will receive.
I do not know all the correct names of these pieces, so I have just made up the following names and put their sizes....

Dino Bencini Worked from a studio in Florence Italy. While some of Bencini's figurines date back to the 1970's (perhaps earlier), his figurines became most well known in the 1980's when musician Barry Manilow displayed his "Piano Player" figurine on the album cover for "Tryin' To Get The Feeling". Each Bencini figurine is individually hand crafted and signed. Art critics say that "A piece of clay jumps to life in his hands". His figurines have become very popular with collectors, but somewhat hard to find.
