Pair of Staffordshire style Vintage Busts of Children, C20th
A pair of polychrome ceramic busts of children, a boy and a girl, both dressed in blue and wearing country style hats, each set on a pedestal base with blue and red ‘veining’ in imitation of marble, the glaze with a feint craquelure and the bases countersunk and pierced. Others may well disagree but, usually described as Staffordshire, or occasionally Continental, these busts were more likely made in China. The enamel work is typical of twentieth century Chinese pieces and the faces of the pair do not have a convincingly European look. More importantly the paste of the foot is closer to Chinese work than Western and even the form of the base is not found on European pieces either. Nevertheless, these two youngsters make an amusing and decorative pair whatever their history.| Size: | H 21 cm W 11 cm Base 8 x 8 cm |
| Weight: | 1340 grams for both |
| Date: | C20th |
| Condition: | Good condition, no issues |
| Estimate: | £60 – 80 |
