English Painted Ceramic Figure of a Traveler. Painted porcelain figure of a pudgy man in a blue ascot and beret carrying a red tube with a sailboat painted on the back, possibly scrolls or maps.

Overall Size: 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 10 in.

 

Porcelain figurines are delicate, finely crafted sculptures made from high-fired, translucent ceramic, often celebrated for their intricate detail, graceful forms, and smooth, lustrous finish. Originating in 18th-century Europe, with roots in earlier Chinese porcelain traditions, these figurines typically depict pastoral scenes, mythological subjects, animals, children, or courtly figures. Famous makers like Meissen, Sèvres, and Royal Doulton helped popularize the form, creating collectible pieces that were both decorative and emblematic of refinement and taste. Hand-painted accents, gilt embellishments, and expressive modeling make each figurine a miniature work of art, prized for its craftsmanship and enduring charm across centuries of decorative arts.
