Overview and History

The Connoisseur of Malvern is a respected English porcelain manufacturer known for producing high-quality fine bone china floral sculptures in limited quantities. Their designs often feature highly realistic, hand-painted flowers and nature motifs, aimed at collectors of British porcelain and floral art.

The Yorkshire Rose is one of their signature pieces. It showcases a highly detailed, fully bloomed white rose with surrounding buds and foliage on a driftwood-style base. Being number 23 of only 100 pieces ever produced adds to its desirability and rarity.

Authentication Notes

  • The bottom mark is consistent with genuine Connoisseur of Malvern backstamps from the 1980s–1990s.
  • The use of Fine Bone China and hand-painted details further affirm authenticity.
  • The edition number and accompanying marks suggest it was part of a controlled and collectible release.

Condition

Based on your photos, the item appears to be in mint condition, with no visible cracks, chips, crazing, or discoloration. The leaves, petals, and delicate structures are all intact, which is essential for maintaining value.

Current Market Value (2024–2025 Estimate)

  • Retail Value (if sold by specialty dealers): $175 – $250
  • Private Sale / Online Marketplace (e.g., Etsy, eBay): $125 – $175
  • Auction House Estimate: $100 – $160 (depending on demand and condition at sale time)

Prices may vary slightly depending on regional demand and the marketing presentation.

Recommendations

  • For Sale: Highlight its limited edition number and English origin when listing online. Use keywords like British bone china, floral sculpture, and collectible rose figurine.
  • Professional Appraisal: Recommended if:
    • You plan to insure the item
    • You wish to sell through a formal auction house
    • You’re bundling it with other Connoisseur of Malvern pieces

A certified appraiser or auction platform like Bonhams or The-saleroom.com in the UK would be familiar with this type of collectible.
