Questions about this piece?
The fine busts in this pair are made from bisque—that is, unglazed—porcelain, while the socles upon which they sit are wrought from parcel gilt cobalt blue glazed porcelain, all raised on square ormolu bases. The busts depict semi-nude Bacchanal figures, one a satyr-like man, the other a young woman; both have vines and bundles of grapes in their hair, symbolic of wine and thus revelry.
The sculptures are impressed to the reverse ‘Charlier’ and with a mark of interlaced Ls with the letter F in the centre.
Female bust: Height 27cm, width 15cm, depth 11cm
Male bust: Height 26cm, width 13cm, depth 11cm
