The Flower Seller. Can you identify her?

Hello everyone,

I have recently found this charming porcelain figurines of a woman with flowers. Titled 'The Flower Seller'. I have been told by other people that it looks to be 19th century and may be manufactured by Rockingham Porcelain, however it does not have any identifying marks.

Could anyone tell me anything more about it? I would be very grateful for any information!

Many thanks,
Isobel

 

Hi, Isobel! I've taken the liberty of reposting your photograph as a Full Image so it's easier for forum members to see.

Here's something similar, just fyi. By Carl Thieme of Dresden.

do you have a photo of the underside by chance?

 

Thanks Debora, that's really kind of you!

 

Pleasure.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I have included a picture of the base, but there doesn't seem to be any marks on it

 

Always remember Full Images please.

doesn't look old to me but I could be wrong

 

Welcome Issy.
Could you give us dimensions please.

That is a really weird bottom. Almost as if it was filled in


Possibly German or Japanese.

 

Yes, where's the vent hole?

 

Yes of course. The dimensions are 10cm (h) x 10cm (w) x 6cm (d)

 

Approx. 4" x 4x" x 2 1/2"
So a trinket or souvenir of sorts.

Looking at how well done the flowers are, I'm going with German. Except the bottom still bothers me.
Does it look like it was filled in with something other than the original porcelain?
It looks like plaster of paris.

 

@IssyApter @Debora People have been having trouble Identifying flower girls since the Cowsills sang about them in 1967 ! Cute ceramic... makes me think of my Grandmother ....she had a lot of knicknacks like that !
