This large pair of decorative porcelain figures from 1890 depicts water carriers in the Turn-Teplitz style. Each piece stands 45 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, and rests upon a patterned pedestal base with geometric moulding around the sides. The figures are rendered in buff and cream enamel finishes, featuring draped robes, turban headwear, and detailed water vessels held in their hands, while one figure has a prominent white sculpted beard. Both statues stand barefoot on their respective bases in naturalistic poses with detailed anatomical carving. These ornaments suit a gentleman's library and sit comfortably upon a sideboard top as decorative sculptures within a traditional interior space.

FAQs

Turn-Teplitz porcelain refers to decorative ceramics manufactured in the Turn-Teplitz region of Bohemia, now Trnovany in the Czech Republic, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, renowned for intricate modelling and matte glazes.

These figures were cast in fine porcelain or terracotta, hand-detailed prior to firing, and finished with ivory-toned matte or satin glazes, soft enamels, and subtle metallic cold-painted accents.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed factory marks on the underside, including crown symbols, amphora logos, shape numbers, and hand-painted decorator initials characteristic of Bohemian manufactories.

Position these sculptural items as a pair on a console table, mantelpiece, or within a glass display cabinet to create visual balance alongside contemporary textures and minimalist decor.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid immersion, harsh chemical solvents, or abrasive cloths that could strip original cold-painted pigments and surface gilding.
