Skip to product information
This antique and rare Royal Worcester porcelain figurine was created during the Kerr & Binns period (1852-1862). Crafted from porcelain with a smooth ivory finish, characteristic of Royal Worcester from this era, the piece depicts a young child or cherub seated on a rocky base while holding a classical amphora.
The child is adorned with a gilded sash draped around its body, and the amphora features elegant gilded accents that harmonize with the sash. The rocky base is sculpted with textured detail, providing a naturalistic foundation for the figure.
The Kerr & Binns period of Royal Worcester lasted only ten years, from 1852 to 1862. Therefore, porcelain produced during this period holds special significance for collectors.
Historical Background:
