HOSTESS FROM WILLIAMSBURG HN2209 - ROYAL DOULTON FIGURI...Figure of a beautiful young lady in pink dress with a fan in her hand.
Named in honor of King William III, 18th century Williamsburg was the capital of Virginia, the oldest of the British colonies in America. Williamsburg became the political, social and cultural center of the colony. The small city flourished during a period that forged principles on which subsequent American history was founded. When it ceased to be the seat of government in 1780, Williamsburg unfortunately lost its position of importance and fell into decay. In the 1960s, a decision was made that the shrine of American character and tradition should be restored; that each building in Williamsburg should be reconstructed and refurnished exactly in detail to its 18th century appearance. Now reverted to the tempo of the past, amid the beauty of the quiet tree-lined streets and public houses; visitors to the new, refurbished Williamsburg can pause and reflect in a town once inhabited by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. In the 1960s, in conjunction with the restoration of Williamsburg, Royal Doulton introduced a collection of 18th century personalities called Figures of Williamsburg designed by Peggy Davies. Each figure was created with the same care and attention to detail that were seen in the restoration of Williamsburg itself. Approved by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, this collection of characters continues to be popular with collectors around the world who have a love for beauty, history and tradition. From 1699 to 1780 Williamsburg, Virginia was the political, cultural, and educational center of what was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the American colonies. It was there that the fundamental concepts of the American government were born. Peggy Davies' series represents just some of the many individuals whose diverse contributions helped nurture the growth and development of what is now the United States of America. - Figures of Williamsburg

- PICASSO CERAMIC PLATE "NATURE MORTE"
PICASSO CERAMIC PLATE "NATURE MORTE" (1953)Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). "Nature Morte" (Still Life) ceramic plate, 1953. Reference: A. Ramie 219. Ed. 400. Marked with handwritten "EDITION PICASSO" in black as well as "D'APRES PICASSO" and "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" stamps on the underside. Picasso's "Nature Morte" is a lovely oval terre de faience dish made of white earthenware clay, partially engraved, with colored engobe and glaze in white, teal, sienna, black, and blue hues over a matte charcoal grey ground. The imagery features Picasso's abstract interpretation of a still life - fruit and vessels with stylized flourishes - and a decorative border comprised of a running zigzag punctuated by teal oval motifs. Size: 12" L x 15" W (30.5 cm x 38.1 cm)
The year Picasso created this ceramic, 1953, was somewhat tumultuous on a personal level for the artist. Picasso met Jacqueline, hostess at Madoura pottery with whom he became romantically involved, which prompted Francoise Gilot to leave him. Francoise and Picasso had been together for almost 10 years and had two children together.
Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Madoura pottery studio to create ceramic works for almost 25 years. Georges and Suzanne Ramie founded the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, France. The Ramies are probably best known for their wonderful collaborations with Picasso which resulted in an impressive oeuvre of Picasso ceramics. The Madoura pottery studio (Madoura being an acronym for MAison + DOUly (Suzanne’s maiden name) + Ramie) opened in an abandoned factory building on April 29th, 1938. Picasso first discovered the Madoura workshop in 1946 and from then on maintained a 24-year collaboration, creating works inspired by his sketches.
