Unlike later white examples, the warm cream porcelain creates a softer and richer appearance, beautifully complemented by the distinctive black button detail.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOne figure presents an open face to the viewer, while her companion bends dramatically into the wind. Together they create one of the most elegant and recognisable Victorian porcelain compositions produced by Royal Worcester.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJames Hadley's modelling is exceptional, particularly in the flowing drapery and convincing sense of movement. These figures remain highly desirable among collectors of Royal Worcester and Victorian English porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOpen-faced figure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 28.5 cm \/ 11.2″\u003cbr\u003e\nBase diameter: 10 cm \/ 3.9″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 731 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLeaning figure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 26.3 cm \/ 10.4″\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 10 cm \/ 3.9″\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 12 cm \/ 4.7″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 848 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nThe open-faced figure is in magnificent antique condition.
