I am currently researching this Bust and would appreciate any feedback or direction.
Providence - This came from an Estate in England recently belonging to the owners 3 or 4 th Great Grandmother. To me this indicates circa American Civil War of shortly after. I have verified this is not Harriet Tugman through her biographer. Because it comes from England it is a puzzel.
Material - Earthenware - which brings me to Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Europe at the time had more fine porciline and bone china. I have researched the hallmark extensively to no avail.
Size Approx: 12 - 14 inches high , 7-8 inches wide and 4 -6 inched deep.
Hallmark H in triangle as shown - I believe number could be as per catalogue or date. On bck of bust. Bottom has no markings o paint just earthenware.
It is a very interesting piece. I thank you in advance for any direction you could provide.
Re: Bust of a Lady
Are you sure it's earthenware? It almost looks like chalkware in the images.
Re: Bust of a Lady
Yes definitely earthenware (poly-chrome paint from what I can tell) ... definitely not chalk-ware .. I have been researching this piece for a few weeks ,,, its really stumping me ... thanks for your reply ... Thomas
