Pythias & Damon biscuit porcelain statue

Hi

I have this biscuit porcelain statue of Pythias & Damon. It's very large and heavy.Height is about 15.5". I don't see any marks. It has very fine details. Does anyone have any idea about it's manufacturer?
I appreciate any help.

Thank you!

 

I think you mean bisque and not biscuit.

 

I did not know that biscuit refers to any fired but unglazed pottery, and bisque refers to porcelain only; so, technically, this could be either?

 

I believe they are both correct term.
I think French word "bisque" is preferred by antique dealers to sound more sophisticated.

Anyway, that wasn't the question.LOL. Any ideas about manufacturer or origin of this 'unglazed porcelain' piece?

 

Sorry, no idea.
I was unaware that biscuit was a term used to describe unglazed pottery.
Was only commenting so you could redo your searches.
My mistake.
Sorry.

 

Don't be sorry. We are all getting a little educated here.

 

I was also about to write don't be sorry. Thank for trying to help

 

Always getting educated here in these forums.
But I have a huge problem - I won't remember anything I learned today by next week and will have to relearn it.

 

Can you tell me how you know this is Pythias and Damon? I'm not questioning whether it is or not, but I wasn't sure how to identify them. So I'm trying to learn, too.

 

So while researching a Parian ware vase I found recently, I came across some figures listed as Parian ware.

You might want to consider looking in that direction.
Look at the base on this from Skinner auction and then look at your base. Unfortunately this is from 2015 and there are no other pictures.

Thank you! I never heard "Parian" before. That will help!

 

When I was buying it at flea market, an older guy told me that they are Pythias and Damon. When I googled it I saw that he was correct.
