Coalport Ladies of Fashion Margaret Bone China Figurine

At 21 cm tall and 15 cm wide, this Coalport Ladies of Fashion Margaret bone china figurine, with her red and white gown rendered with fine hand-painted detail and rich colour, is a classic of British bone china figurine-making, the scale and the quality of the painting giving the piece a presence and decorative authority that smaller figurines cannot match.

Made by Coalport China of Stoke-on-Trent and dated 1983, this figurine is part of the celebrated Ladies of Fashion series, one of the most enduring and widely collected figurine ranges in British bone china production. Coalport, which was founded in Shropshire in 1795 and later became part of the Wedgwood group, produced the Ladies of Fashion series as a celebration of feminine elegance across different historical periods, each figurine in the series depicting a lady in period costume with the fine hand-painted detail and rich colour that are the hallmarks of the best British bone china figurine work. Margaret, with her red and white gown and the crisp, clean modelling that characterises the Coalport Ladies of Fashion series, is a particularly sought-after subject, and this example, dated 1983 and in very good condition throughout, is a fine representative of the series at its best.
