An early Royal Worcester porcelain model titled. Mrs Hadley’s Hand. Designed by James Hadley and dating to 1865. The sculptural form depicts a delicately modelled porcelain hand holding a gilt amphora decorated with fine classical ornament and colourful painted detail. The wrist is encircled with a moulded bracelet, and the base features a softly ruffled design with gilt edging. The underside bears the early green Royal Worcester mark, confirming production in 1865. This is one of Royal Worcester’s most recognisable and sculpturally ambitious Victorian models, highly associated with James Hadley’s early artistic output. Height: 14.5 cm / 5.71? Base: 7 cm x 5.5 cm / 2.76? X 2.17? Weight: 247 g. A genuine 19th-century example showing age-related wear. There are visible cracks to the base and palm area, and the amphora has been repaired. The interior rim shows hairlines and wear, and the gilt decoration has softened in areas. Structurally stable and displays well despite these issues. Professionally packed with protective materials. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description, and feel free to ask any questions.

Crafted from solid wood and richly clad in deep red leather, the surface is beautifully adorned with gold gilt detailing, including crowned royal emblems and an elegant cipher to the lid-symbols of authority, tradition, and imperial power. This was originally used to secure transport of official proclamations or royal decrees. The elongated, refined form-measuring approximately 20 inches long, 3.5 inches deep, and 4 inches high-gives the box a commanding presence, while remaining elegant and purposeful. Please review the photos for further condition assessment, A brass push-button latch secures the lid, adding both functionality and a refined finishing touch. The craftsmanship throughout reflects the high standards expected of official British government or royal household items of the period. Both decorative and deeply historical, this rare despatch box would make a distinguished statement in a study, library, or office setting. It stands not only as a beautifully made object, but as a tangible connection to the administrative and ceremonial workings of the British Empire under King George V.

This is a beautiful Royal Dux Bohemia, one of the early porcelain pieces. The piece depicts potters with a large column, which is actually a candlestick. It’s an interesting piece due to its historical repair with staples, which was typical for the 19th century (porcelain cost a fortune back then), so I wouldn’t call it a flaw, but rather a feature of sorts. Even this isn’t detrimental and is virtually invisible from the front. Another imperfection is that the pot is missing from the back of the figurine on the pedestal. Apart from that, the porcelain and paint are in near-exhibit condition. Height: approximately 42 cm.

Wall first period of Royal Worcester porcelain bowl / soup plate decorated in underglaze blue decoration in the Royal Lily pattern with a scalloped and pointed rim. Manufactured in England during the late 18th century, circa 1770. In 1788, King George III and Queen Charlotte visited the factory where they ordered a breakfast service in the design, which was known as Blue Lily until then. Wall period Royal Lily pattern pieces are relatively rare, but those without gilt and the red accents more so.. I wonder whether the examples without the gilt and red trim represent the earliest iterations of the pattern? In excellent condition with no chips or cracks. A true collectors piece. Diameter: 24.5 cm – Height: 4.5 cm. Please enlarge all images and inspect thoroughly, if you have any questions or require more photographs please do not hesitate to ask.
