Royal Worcester Porcelain Figurine of Dancing Woman

1920 - 1940
Description

A rare Royal Worcester porcelain figure dated 1930, modelled as a Spanish-style dancer in motion. The figure holds castanets in both hands and is captured mid-step with remarkable precision and poise. She wears a deep lustrous gown in an unusually dark pearlescent glaze — a rare variant for this model. The figure displays the exceptional detailing and crisp modelling that characterize Royal Worcester’s interwar production. Each gesture is sensitively rendered, with balance, flow, and sculptural finesse. This is a highly collectible work, combining expressive movement with technical mastery. Its rare color and condition make it a sought-after piece among collectors of early 20th-century English porcelain.

Condition: Excellent condition. Minor gilt wear to the hair. No damage or restoration.

Dimensions: Height: 21.2 cm; Width: 8.5 cm; Depth: 8 cm; Weight: 315 g

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. It is important to note that shipping costs include labour, packaging and postage.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the late nineteenth century, these ceramic figures often depicted classical allegorical subjects, dancers, and orientalist motifs executed in pastel palettes, soft-satin glazes, and subtle gilding.

Figures were crafted using fine bone china or porcelain slip poured into multi-part plaster moulds, fired at high temperatures, hand-painted with overglaze enamels, and finished with burnished gold detailing.

Authentic pieces feature factory backstamps, such as the Worcester printed mark with dots indicating the exact manufacturing year, alongside incised or painted model numbers and decorator initials near the base.

These decorative sculptures function well placed individually on a dark wood mantelpiece, integrated into a curated glass display cabinet, or paired alongside modern ceramics to create textural contrast.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners, water immersion, or vigorous rubbing, which can wear away delicate overglaze enamel and surface gilding.
