Featured mini porcelain figurines

hi all

found these little figurines in a charity shop this week, they all came together in a £5 bag

most of them have areas of damage, but 4 of them are undamaged

only about 3 inches tall

all of them have 2 different marks, a gold anchor, and another

any help on age makers etc very helpful





broken ones

 

Hi Inh, yeah most of them have a gold anchor to the back, others have the other one

 

This is called "Dresden Lace", look it over carefully. I've circled 3 places where I see damage to the lace and that impacts any value severely

 

The item with the anchor mark is possibly Chelsea. However, their marks are often copied. Below is a link for Chelsea porcelain marks.

i think i can add a few more circles looking at the flowers on the dress as well !

that doesn't bother me too much, an arm missing would

 

True, but anyone collecting Dresden Lace wants to see the lace intact

 

Brothers & Sisters in the UK, I stand in awe of the treasures you encounter in your charity shops.Just so much old stuff-'Give the ole junk a toss Mabel & bobs yer uncle !'

 

Sweet little figurines...

 

I agree with bosko69, You all get the best stuff at your Charity/ thrift shops.

 

UK vs US-You'd be lucky to find vintage 'Cracker Jack' figures (damaged or not) for 50 cents each.By the way-what's the guess for age & real 'sell for' value on these ? They seem to me,as a Yank- ungodly cheap,but I know zilch,it's nothing we'd really ever find over here.

 

Some look older than others. All very sweet, but hard to tell from the photos. The dresden lace stuff (yes actual lace/fabric covered in porcelain paste and fired) is very delicate and breaks so easily.

 

They are lovely, damaged or not!
