Description

Pair of Victorian Continental Bisque Figures under Glass Domes

The figures are finely modelled and painted in soft pastel shades of blue, white and pink, with particularly attractive floral decoration throughout. Each figure is presented beneath under the original glass dome on an ebonised circular base.

Both measure 18 x 18 x 46 (h) cm

Offered in good condition. Some slight nibbles and chips (including to the chip of the boy). The domes in good order. Present very well.

FAQs

Glass display domes gained widespread popularity during the 19th century across Europe as protective enclosures for delicate decorative objects. Continental bisque figures, made from unglazed porcelain, were frequently arranged with artificial foliage under glass cloches to protect the intricate details from dust and damage.

These pieces typically consist of unglazed bisque porcelain figurines, hand-painted ceramic pigments, textile or paper floral elements, hand-blown glass domes, and turned wooden bases often finished with ebonised stain.

Authentic period examples feature hand-blown glass containing subtle air bubbles or optical thickness variations, solid turned wooden bases with fitted grooves, and matte-finish unglazed porcelain showing hand-painted accents.

Arranging a symmetrical pair on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open shelving introduces historical texture and height. They pair effectively alongside dark timber surfaces, bound books, or minimalist architectural backdrops.

Clean the glass dome exterior using a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, keeping moisture away from the base rim. Dust the internal porcelain figures and delicate floral arrangements using a dry, soft brush without applying liquid cleaners.
