The figures are glazed in a vibrant polychrome enamel palette typical of Victorian majolica, standing on cobalt blue circular bases that enhance their strong visual impact.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe girl stands gracefully beside a naturalistic tree stump, her left arm resting lightly on the handle of a woven basket. She wears a flowing blue dress with ruffled sleeves, a rose-pink apron tied at the waist, and a long cape edged with yellow trim. Her straw bonnet, tied with a pink ribbon, frames her carefully modelled hair, while delicate detailing to the dress and apron reveals the technical finesse of Royal Worcester's mid-19th century majolica production. Her modest pose and fine modelling reflect the Rococo Revival taste of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe girl stands gracefully beside a naturalistic tree stump, her left arm resting on the handle of a woven basket. She wears a flowing blue dress with ruffled sleeves, a rose-pink apron, and a yellow-trimmed cape, her straw bonnet tied with a pink ribbon framing carefully modelled hair. Her modest pose and delicate detailing reflect the Rococo Revival taste and technical finesse of Royal Worcester's mid-19th century majolica production.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe boy leans casually against his own tree stump, resting one arm across the rim of his matching basket. He is dressed in a vibrant blue coat with yellow cuffs and lapels, over a red waistcoat and salmon-pink breeches, topped with a jaunty tricorn hat decorated with a rosette. His lively pose, rich colour palette, and naturalistic base capture the boyish charm and dynamic character studies typical of Royal Worcester's finest work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nImpressed to the base with Royal Worcester factory marks, partially obscured beneath the glaze.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003e\nGirl: Height 17.5 cm \/ 6.9″, Width 11 cm \/ 4.3″, Depth 9.5 cm \/ 3.7″, Weight 344 g\u003cbr\u003e\nBoy: Height 17.5 cm \/ 6.9″, Width 11 cm \/ 4.3″, Depth 9.5 cm \/ 3.7″, Weight 326 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nVery good decorative condition overall. The girl figure has old restoration to her head and two small enamel losses: one to the back and another to the right hand beneath the basket handle. Minor old glaze wear and fine craquelure are present, consistent with age. The boy figure is missing the handle of the basket and shows a chip to the inside of the right side of his coat. Despite these minor flaws, both figures retain vivid original colours, crisp modelling, and excellent display impact.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Packaging:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully tracked and insured delivery\u003cbr\u003e\n- Shipping cost includes professional packaging, careful handling, and secure postage\u003cbr\u003e\n- Carefully packed using recycled materials where possible\u003cbr\u003e\n- Customs paperwork provided where necessary for smooth international delivery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease feel free to ask any questions.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62884599136586,"sku":"B933","price":625.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.6790331530_pipf.jpg?v=1785915919","url":"https:\/\/gillersantiques.com\/products\/antique-royal-worcester-majolica-figurines-boy-and-girl-with-baskets-1870s","provider":"Gillers Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
