FAQs

Bisque, or unglazed biscuit porcelain, gained immense popularity during the 19th century across European manufactories, prized for its matte finish which closely resembles carved marble and allows for intricate detailing.

These figures were typically crafted from hard-paste porcelain, fired at high temperatures, and left unglazed (bisque) on the primary surfaces, occasionally featuring hand-painted polychrome enamel accents and gilded highlights.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the paste quality, hand-painted details, firing flaws, and manufacturer marks or incised numbers located on the underside of the base.

They make excellent focal points when displayed on mantelpieces, inside glass-fronted cabinets, or as sophisticated accents on bookshelves alongside modern design books.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid submerging in water, especially if the piece features delicate hand-painted enamel or gilt details that can degrade over time.
