"Rare Royal Worcester Pair “renaissance Musicians”, Exclusive Shot Enamel, 1911"
A finely modelled Royal
Worcester porcelain pair from the “Renaissance Musicians” series, model 143 by
James Hadley. Each impressed Hadley, dated 1911 (20 dots). Exceptional shot
enamel finish in bronze-green and rose-gold tones, used only for exhibition or
export pieces. The male figure is known as “Blind Whistler”. These figures are
outstanding examples of late Edwardian artistry, with delicate gilding,
expressive faces, and naturalistic movement. The technique of shot enamel gives
the surface a soft iridescence, prized by Worcester collectors. Rarely
encountered as an original matched pair in this excellent preservation.
Dimensions: Male 32 × 12
× 13 cm (1065 g); female 30 × 11 × 12 cm (773 g).
