Royal Worcester Figure “Grecian Maiden”, Model 1827, C. 1928

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A finely modelled Royal Worcester porcelain figure of a dancing woman, from the recognised “Grecian Maiden” series, model 1827, dating to circa 1928. The model originates in the Hadley period and remained in production due to its enduring appeal.

The figure is captured in motion, holding castanets (krotala), introducing a rhythmic quality associated with Spanish dance and flamenco. The composition maintains a classical balance while incorporating movement.

The modelling reflects Hadley’s influence, with flowing drapery and controlled asymmetry forming a continuous silhouette.

The surface is finished in a grey-toned pearlescent glaze with subtle transitions into smoky blue, creating a soft luminous effect. Gilding is applied with restraint to highlight key details.

The underside bears a puce Royal Worcester mark and model number 1827. The combination of dot system and “Made in England” inscription indicates a transitional period in factory marking practice.

A well-preserved and balanced example of this established Worcester model.

This Royal Worcester porcelain figure from the Grecian Maiden series, model 1827, dates to circa 1928 within the Neoclassical Revival style. The figurine depicts a dancing woman captured in motion while holding castanets, standing upon a circular plinth base. The materials comprise porcelain finished in a grey-toned pearlescent glaze with smoky blue transitions, complemented by gold leaf enamel highlights and gilded trim on her classical drapery. Visual details include an updo hairstyle, sandaled feet, and robes that drape over her body. The object measures 21 cm high, 8 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. In a modern home, this piece suits placement on a mantelpiece or shelf as a decorative accent. The underside carries a puce factory mark alongside model number 1827, marking a transitional period in marking practice through the dot system and the "Made in England" inscription.

FAQs

Royal Worcester produced classical and neoclassical figures from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century, drawing design inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman statuary and executing them in fine soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain.

These figures were cast using porcelain slip, painted with metallic glaze or enamel, and finished with hand-applied gilding before undergoing multiple high-temperature kiln firings.

Authentic pieces carry printed or impressed factory marks on the underside, often incorporating a date code system, model numbers, and hand-gilded details on the base.

Position the figurine on a mantelpiece, floating shelf, or console table alongside modern framed artwork or minimalist ceramics to create a balanced visual focal point.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry brush, avoid immersion in water to protect gilded finishes, and place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
