Royal Worcester Victorian Sculptural Porcelain Maiden on Stump with Lizard, C.1870

19th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A rare sculptural porcelain figure created during the late Victorian period as part of the factory’s important exhibition and dining-table centrepiece designs of the late 1860s. The maiden is shown seated on a naturalistic stump, looking downward in fear at a lizard below, in a narrative composition conceived as small-scale sculpture for grand interiors.

The figure is made in fine bone china and finished in iridescent ivory glaze with painted details, producing luminous surface depth typical of Royal Worcester luxury wares.

An original inventory label numbered 385 remains on the underside, indicating official collection provenance, alongside a lighter-toned technological firing contact zone. The model originates from the celebrated 1869 centrepiece series and represents one of the highest artistic achievements of Victorian Worcester porcelain.

Dimensions: Height 19.5 cm, width 9.8 cm, depth 10.2 cm; weight 550 g.

Condition: Hairline crack to the base. The iridescent ivory glaze naturally refracts light, creating soft tonal variations and reflective highlights across the surface; any apparent unevenness or “patchiness” visible in photographs is caused by light reflection on the pearly glaze and curved glossy surfaces rather than by defects or restoration. Otherwise in magnificent condition.

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.

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

During the mid-to-late 19th century, Royal Worcester produced detailed porcelain figures inspired by classical mythology, naturalism, and historical subjects, often featuring soft ivory bodies with subtle hand-painted enamelling.

These items were typically cast using porcelain or parian slip before firing at high temperatures, followed by hand-glaze application, hand-painted details, and secondary kiln firings.

Authentic period pieces feature printed or impressed maker marks on the base, such as the standard Royal Worcester printed stamp with date codes, fine moulding definition, and precise hand-finished details.

Position the figure on a mantelpiece, display cabinet, or console table alongside contemporary glass or stone accents to create a visual contrast between classic and modern design elements.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding submersion in water or harsh chemical cleansers to protect surface glazes and hand-painted pigments.
