Hi, welcome to the forum.

Young woman with devilish hooves, sitting on a grapevine, picking grapes. Perhaps symbolic reminder; a little wine may do you good, too much wine may do you harm (Pan/devil). Goat people are a class of mythological beings who physically resembled humans from the waist up, and had the hind legs of goats for legs. They fall into various categories, such as sprites, gods, demons, and demigods.

Satyresses or fauness are the female equivalent to satyrs, depicted with a human head and torso and the body of a goat from waist down.
Maker’s mark is broken in the middle but upper row ends in ….INI, typical for Italian family names. Not sure if bottom row is MILANO.
Take care.Best regards.
