Hello
I just wanted to know how much is this parrot worth? Where is it from?

Looks like a Capodimonte parrot. Might be a spurious mark though, as there are plenty of these around to compare with.

Definitely looks to be the 'crown over N' mark………legitimate or not is the question and if legit, who's mark. The bottom appears to be concave thus obliterating some of the crown itself. Hard to tell from the pic, but do you see any other faint markings that would give you a clearer image of the shape and number of points?


Just for example…….some legitimate marks

I can see a very faint number 5 mark but it looks like it's upside down...
Its just so many of them on the internet and the prices are so different as well.

also I found Carl Thieme parrots. They look much more similar to my one than Capodimonte and most of them have similar markings.
