A charming late 19th-century Parian porcelain compote featuring a beautifully modeled young flower girl standing beside a naturalistic tree trunk, supporting a delicately reticulated bowl above. The warm ivory tone, matte biscuit finish, and softly translucent porcelain are characteristic of quality Parian wares produced during the Victorian era.
Designed as a decorative centerpiece or compote, the openwork bowl is removable, attaching securely to the pedestal with its original threaded metal fitting. Fine detailing throughout the figure, basket of flowers, and textured tree trunk lends the piece exceptional sculptural appeal.
An elegant addition to a dining table, console, or garden-inspired vignette, this antique offers timeless Victorian charm while serving as a beautiful display piece for fruit, decorative objects, or seasonal arrangements.
Very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Original removable bowl with threaded metal mount. Minor loss to the flower formerly held in the figure’s hand, as shown. Presents beautifully and measures approximately 10” high.
