Royal Worcester Parian Figures by A. Azori “Le Miroir” & “Le Panier"

1940 - 1960
Description

A fine and rare pair of Royal Worcester Parian figures, model 5585 “Le Miroir” and model 5588 “Le Panier,” both exquisitely modelled by Italian sculptor Antonio Azori in 1966. Executed in crisp white bisque, the woman adjusts her hair before a hand mirror while the gentleman offers a single bloom, a basket of flowers resting in his lap. Each figure sits upon a cylindrical pedestal with square plinth, exemplifying the classical charm, balanced composition, and refined detailing characteristic of Royal Worcester’s mid-century Parian porcelain.

Both pieces bear the factory’s stamped mark, impressed shape numbers, model titles, and the inscription “Modelled by A. Azori,” confirming their provenance. Azori’s limited author series for Worcester in the mid-1960s revived 19th-century Parian traditions—once the province of bespoke commissions for the Art Union of London—now in exceptionally small editions. Auction records attest to their scarcity and high market value.

Male figure 31 × 18 × 13.5 cm, 844 g; female figure 30 × 16 × 13.5 cm, 717 g. Both in excellent condition—no cracks, chips or restoration; virtually perfect.

Shipped fully tracked and insured.

Shipping cost includes labour, packaging, and postage.

Please carefully review the accompanying photographs, as they form an integral part of this description. Feel free to ask any questions.
