[QUOTE="flilot, post: 315556, member: 6401"]Hello all, first time poster here, so forgive any mistakes! I recently aquired a porcelain figurine of a girl, kneeling down next to a footstool, trying on jewellery from a small casket. It is very finely modelled, and the quality of the porcelain itself does suggest manufacture by one of the better quality figurine producers. However it is painted overglaze, almost in a crude fashion, quite thickly, though attention to detail has been paid to the hair and facial features. The paint is flaking off, as can be seen, maybe suggesting the "blank" figurine was purchased, and then painted at a later date, at art school or similar? There are no marks at all on the piece, impressed or printed (I've had a very good look). The underneath of the base does remind me of the way earlier Royal Worcester figurines were made, with the unglazed base rim extending over the recessed base itself. Another thing to note is the main glaze on the figurine is a pure white, while underneath the base it is more of a creamy colour. Any help at all would be appreciated, I've spent quite a while trying to research it, via Google and Google Images, as yet to no avail. Images provided below.
