Are these figures marked with factory stamps?

Many pieces carry impressed numbers, painted pattern codes or backstamps underneath the base that identify the maker and production era. Some older examples rely on stylistic attribution and known modelling traits when factory marks are faint or absent.

What is the difference between bisque and porcelain?

Bisque is left unglazed after firing to achieve a tactile, matte finish that highlights sculptural form. Porcelain is coated with a glassy glaze and refired to create a non-porous, glossy surface suitable for bright enamel colours.

Where were these figures displayed in Edwardian homes?

They were positioned on mantelpieces, occasional tables, sideboards and within glass-fronted cabinets as focal points of polite conversation. Larger figures and figural lamps were also placed on pedestals or side tables to illuminate dark corners of the room.
