Lot 516: A Collection of Porcelain and Ceramic Pastoral and Courtly Figurines
A collection of porcelain and ceramic figurines, primarily depicting pastoral and courtly figures in 18th-century fashion. The group includes three larger porcelain figures: one lady in a tiered cobalt blue and gold-gilt skirt with floral sprigs; another in a cobalt blue bodice and white floral-decorated skirt with gilt scalloped edging; and a third lady in a white dress with blue floral onion-style patterns. Pastoral subjects are represented by a ceramic figure of a girl in a tan apron holding a flower basket with a lamb, and a boy in Alpine-style dress playing an accordion. The group is completed by three small white-glazed porcelain pieces, including a girl with a harp and a boy with a drum. The figurines feature various finishes, from highly polished glazed porcelain with overglaze polychrome enamelling and gilding to a more matte-finished ceramic on the shepherdess figure. No maker’s marks or factory backstamps are visible on the pieces.
