Rare 20th Century Italian Porcelain Pirate Sculpture Figure Cantagalli Antique

A rare early to mid 20th-century Italian ceramic sculpture of a pirate / buccaneer.

He is dynamically posed standing on a wooden deck base raising a barrel over his head. It is detailed with hand-painted enamel glazes in rich colours, including rust-red trousers, teal sash, and extensive gold gilt highlighting the clothing and accessories. The underside is hand-marked with a cockerel and "ITALY" - seemingly indicating it is the work of Cantagalli.

From my research it seems that a handful of the prominent Italian ceramic manufacturers produced these types of figures, although I have failed in finding another example by Cantagalli / with this cockerel mark besides the musketeer figure I also have listed.
