Lot 328: A Collection of Hantel ‘Victorian Miniatures’ Hand-Painted Porcelain...
A Collection of Hantel ‘Victorian Miniatures’ Hand-Painted Porcelain Clown and Pig Figures, Made in Scotland.
A charming collection of hand-painted porcelain figures by Hantel, from the ‘Victorian Miniatures’ series, made in Scotland. The group comprises a selection of seated clown figures alongside two stylised pigs, each rendered with playful expressions and characterful poses.
The clowns are dressed in colourful costumes, including soft pastel tones and contrasting buttoned outfits, while the pigs are modelled in recumbent and seated positions, decorated with painted green clover motifs across their bodies. All figures display fine detailing to the faces and garments, with glossy finishes and delicate hand-painted features.
Several examples retain their original Hantel tags attached by fine cords. The variety of forms and lively subject matter make this an engaging decorative collection, combining whimsical animal figures with traditional clown miniatures.
H: Approximately 1.5-3.5cm
