This delightful figurine is offered for sale together with Certificate of Authenticity.

Coalport porcelain production began in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, England, in 1795, founded by John Rose.  In 1820, Rose received the Society of Arts Gold Medal  for his feldspar production, and in 1830 introduced the practice of applying a light transfer printed outline, to guide the painters. In 1926, production moved to Staffordshire, the 'Home of The Potteries'. In 1967, the company became part of the Wedgwood Group, although retaining the Coalport brand.

The skill and artistry that is apparent in every detail of "Alexandra", bears eloquent testimony to the legendary quality of Coalport.
