Royal Worcester Blush Ivory Bringaree Indian Figures, James Hadley, 1893

19th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A very attractive original pair of Victorian Royal Worcester Blush Ivory porcelain figures, made in 1893 to a design by James Hadley. The models belong to the factory's historical Bringaree, or Brinjaree, Indian pair. The male figure wears a turban, carries a long musket gun and has a dagger at his waist; the female figure stands beside him with a rustic wooden walking staff. Both stand on complementary naturalistic rocky terrain bases.

The pair is particularly appealing for its unusual multicolour decoration. Its ivory and soft-blush ground is enlivened with rose, lavender, muted blue and olive enamels, with delicate gilding to the clothing, ornaments and accessories. This richer palette gives the pair a distinctive appearance within the Blush Ivory range.

The undersides retain the printed puce Royal Worcester marks corresponding to 1893, together with the shared shape number 1243. The male is marked with Registered Design No. 78876 and the female with Registered Design No. 78877. The two designs were first registered in 1887; the date marks confirm that this is a true matching pair manufactured in 1893.

Dimensions: Male: height 22.9 cm; base 8.7 × 8.7 cm; weight 430 g. Female: height 21.6 cm; base 8.7 × 8.7 cm; weight 315 g.

Condition: The male has a very fine hairline at the point where his cloak meets the base, visible only under strong magnification. Otherwise, he is in excellent antique condition, with the original colours, enamels and gilding exceptionally well preserved. The female has a very fine hairline below the necklace. There are small areas of very professionally executed colour retouching to the reverse of her cloak, difficult to detect without magnification. She retains an excellent overall appearance, with very well-preserved colours, enamels and gilding.

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.

These Victorian Royal Worcester porcelain figurines, designed by James Hadley in 1893, depict a traditional Indian couple known as the Bringaree models. The male figure wears a draped turban, patterned tunic with rose and lavender dots, draped trousers, and gilded shoes with curved tips, while holding a tall walking stick and carrying a dagger at his waist. The female companion wears a peaked headdress, a necklace, a belted dress with blue and pink decoration, and gold-accented footwear, while leaning on a rustic wooden staff. Both pieces stand upon textured, naturalistic rocky ground bases finished in olive green and cream tones. Each figurine measures 22.9 cm high by 8.7 cm wide by 8.7 cm deep. This pair suits display upon a mantelpiece, a side table, or a cabinet within a traditional living space. The surfaces combine a blush ivory glaze with hand-painted enamel details in muted blue, rose, and lavender, complemented by delicate gilding on the garments and accessories. Printed puce factory marks and shape numbers appear on the undersides. The male figure holds a long musket gun at his side, and both sculptures exhibit detailed drapery folds across their traditional attire.

FAQs

Produced primarily during the late Victorian era, Royal Worcester Blush Ivory figures feature soft, matte ivory porcelain shaded with subtle pastel tones and heightened with gilding, often representing world cultures and historical figures.

These figures were cast from molded porcelain paste, fired, and painted with delicate enamels before receiving characteristic blush shading and hand-applied gilt accents.

Authentic pieces feature the impressed or printed Royal Worcester crown and circle mark, standard date codes or registry numbers, along with precise hand-painted details and quality gilding.

Place these sculptures on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or glass display cabinet to contrast their soft tones against structured, modern backdrops.

Dust lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding immersion in water or abrasive solvents that could strip gilding or delicate enamel decoration.
