Skip to product information
An elegant and beautifully detailed antique porcelain figurine sculpted by James Hadley in 1886, titled French Fisher Girl. Standing an impressive 43 cm tall, this sculptural work reflects Hadley's exceptional skill as a modeller and ceramic artist during his time with the Royal Worcester school of sculpture.
The figure is rendered in soft ivory and blush tones, with subtle pink and cream hues highlighted by fine gilt detailing. The young woman is barefoot, dressed in rustic attire with floral embellishments on her flowing gown, and carries a woven basket. She leans gracefully against a pillar, which bears Hadley's signature, while the model number 1202 is inscribed on the base. The naturalistic rocky base has been expertly restored in areas, blending seamlessly with the design.
This rare example of 19th-century English porcelain artistry is ideal for display in a period interior, Victorian parlour, or as a statement piece in a porcelain collection. A perfect acquisition for lovers of Art Nouveau, Worcester blush ivory, and English figural sculpture.
