[QUOTE="Tahmoor girl, post: 4281148, member: 20883"]It's Bisque. [SIZE=6][B]VICTORIAN BISQUE PORCELAIN[/B][/SIZE] The term [I]bisque[/I] describes a piece of porcelain that has not been glazed. Bisque porcelain is dull and has a sandy, dry feel, while glazed porcelain is shiny and smooth. Some bisque porcelain is kept unpainted (as white) because if painted, the colors usually become pastel tones and look quite like watercolor. Small bisque figurines were very popular in the late 1800’s in Europe. Victorian Bisque porcelain is somewhat rare in terms of stumbling upon. [SIZE=3][B]GENERAL RULES[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]The larger the size and amount of detail = larger price! [*]Condition is everything. If there are minor cracks/chips/staining, take 25% what it would be if it were perfect...........FIX THE FOOT. [*] [/LIST][/QUOTE]
