Pair of porcelain biscuit figurines Camille Tharaud Limoges A752

Superb and elegant pair of biscuit porcelain statuettes from Limoges, created by the famous porcelain master Camille Tharaud in the mid-20th century. Standing at a beautiful height of 18 cm, these pieces depict a draped female figure in an antique pose of great finesse and remarkable delicacy. This duo offers a magnificent workshop variation providing a perfect contrast around the same subject: The first statuette rests on a base of pure, silky white biscuit, signed with the handwritten mark "Tharaud Limoges France" underneath. The second is mounted on the mythical intense and deep "Bleu de Four" enamel base (obtained from cobalt oxide), a signature of the Tharaud house. It bears the stamp "Limoges France" under its base. This duo offers a highly decorative and sought-after chromatic contrast: The matte and purity of the unglazed white porcelain (biscuit) beautifully highlights the details of the flowing drapery and the faces. The aesthetic contrast between the purity of the white biscuit base and the intensity of the cobalt blue base (the famous "Bleu Tharaud") adds a remarkable character and a true visual added value. A superb collectible pair. With their height of 18 cm, these statuettes have a real presence. They will be perfect for dressing a fireplace, a modernist sideboard, or a beautiful library. The graphic alliance of the matte biscuit and the glazed blue enamel adds a chic and timeless neoclassical touch, highly sought after in contemporary interiors. Perfect condition. No chips, no cracks, or restorations. Height: 18 cm Maximum width of the statuette: 5 cm Base dimensions: 5.5 cm X 6.5 cm Total weight: 375 grams.
