This Royal Worcester bone china figurine from 1940 displays an Art Deco style, portraying a young blonde-haired girl wearing a purple dress with bare feet, carrying a white lamb with brown markings in her arms. A hand-painted floral base supports the figurative sculpture, featuring visible purple flowers and green foliage amidst yellow ground. The glazed porcelain has a glossy finish and bears a light dehydration crack on the right leg. Measuring 22 cm high, the figurine sits neatly upon a mantelpiece in an English country house interior, bringing a gentle pastoral scene into a living room or study. It functions as a decorative tabletop accent, suited for display among ceramics or collectibles on a shelf.

FAQs

During the 1930s, Royal Worcester expanded its production of decorative nursery and seasonal figurines, commissioning sculptors such as Freda Doughty to design models representing childhood, months, and seasons. These pieces reflected a shift toward softer, naturalistic subjects painted with pastel underglaze colours.

These figurines were cast from fine bone china clay using multi-piece plaster moulds to capture intricate details. After an initial firing, the pieces were hand-painted with ceramic glazes and re-fired at high temperatures to vitrify the china and fix the pigments.

Authentic pieces feature the printed Royal Worcester factory stamp on the base, typically accompanied by a registration number, model number, and a system of dots or date codes underneath the emblem to identify the exact year of manufacture.

Incorporate these pieces into modern spaces by displaying them inside a glass-fronted cabinet, arrangement on a mantelpiece, or alongside books on open shelving to add texture and historical interest without cluttering the room.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a delicate brush to clear hard-to-reach crevices. Avoid washing with abrasive detergents or submersing pieces in hot water, as sudden temperature shifts can crack the glaze.
