Royal Worcester Child with Amphora Figurine, Kerr & Binns Period, 1857

19th century
Description

This rare Royal Worcester porcelain figurine, crafted during the Kerr & Binns period (1852–1862), features a young child or cherub seated on a rocky base while holding a classical amphora. Made from porcelain with a smooth ivory finish, characteristic of Royal Worcester's production during this era, the piece is adorned with a gilded sash and amphora, with elegant gilded accents harmonising beautifully with the overall design. The textured rocky base adds a naturalistic touch to the composition.

Historical background:

Royal Worcester, established in 1751 in Worcester, England, is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious porcelain manufacturers. The Kerr & Binns period (1852–1862) was a transformative decade, during which William Kerr and Richard Binns introduced technical advancements that set the company apart. This period saw the development of ivory-like porcelain finishes enhanced with gilding and the pioneering of Parian porcelain, a marble-like ceramic used for sculptural pieces. Figurines from this era are highly collectible for their historical and artistic significance.

FAQs

The Kerr & Binns era (18521862) of Royal Worcester is recognised for classical craftsmanship, detailed modelling, and refined gilding, often drawing inspiration from Renaissance and antique Roman forms.

Figurines from this era were made using fine porcelain or bone china, finished with vitreous glazes, metallic gilding, and sometimes unglazed bases to contrast textures.

Authentic items typically feature a printed or impressed shield mark containing the letter W for Worcester, sometimes flanked by the initials K&B, alongside numerical date or registration marks.

Position the figurine on a modern console table or mantelpiece, balanced alongside minimalist artwork and textured vessels to create a juxtaposition between classical detail and contemporary lines.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners and liquid immersion, which can strip gilding or alter original surface glazes.
