Description:
This image shows the underside of a porcelain figurine or sculpture, featuring the embossed name 'THERESE'. The style and finish are indicative of mid-20th century European studio or factory-made porcelain, likely referencing the subject or model name rather than the maker. Without the complete view of the figurine, the context suggests it may be part of a series or collection depicting named figures. The material appears to be glazed porcelain, typical for decorative or collectible figurines.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
The piece appears to be a decorative porcelain figurine base. The name 'THERESE' suggests it is a named or modeled subject, common in European porcelain production from the mid-20th century. Full object review would allow for more specific identification and valuation.
Individual Images:
- This image focuses on the base of the figurine
- highlighting the molded 'THERESE' mark. The glaze appears smooth with minor surface imperfections
- typical of hand-finished mid-century porcelain. Presence of small pinholes and subtle mold lines suggests studio-produced work rather than a high-production factory item.
Provenance:
No provenance information provided.
Condition:
Very Good (no visible cracks or chips on this section, light handling marks)
Identification Score: 60%
The embossed name and porcelain type provide clues, but the lack of a full image of the figurine or additional marks/certificates means identification is only somewhat confident.
Authenticity Score: 75%
The physical properties, glazing, and manner of the embossing indicate authentic mid-20th century European porcelain. However, absence of additional factory or maker marks prevents a higher score.
