Gillers Antiques Ltd has dated this Victorian Parian Porcelain Figurine to the 19th Century.
This charming figurine depicts a girl gracefully carrying a full basket of ripe grapes. The statuette is skillfully executed, although its maker is hard to identify as any branding that may have been present on the base has worn down over time. Based on its style and the design of the stand, it might be a product of Minton. This particular figurine showcases a high level of craftsmanship, especially in the detailing of the girl's face, her dress and the grape with leaves garland adorning her head. A unique feature for a parian piece is the girl's colored hair, carefully painted by the artist, with its golden hue harmonizing perfectly with the marble-white figure. Her face is delicately decorated in soft pastel colors, signifying the hand of a true master. The figure has a circular plinth base which is integrated into the piece but there are no maker's marks.
