I have inherited this figure , he does have a basket missing and I have been told he was one of a pair ..the other figure was a girl , the other was lost during world war 11 The height is approximately 36 inches Would love to know if this is definitely majollica and the age and where it came from originally Many thanks in advance
I assume the basket was something like this one. https://www.antiques-atlas.com/antique/pair_of_victorian_majolica_blackamoor_figures/as898a062
This is a similar girl figure and has England impressed in the base though the base does appear a bit different. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/62713066_english-pottery-blackamoor-figure
Here is the boy, with impressed England, a bit different than yours but similar. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/62713067_english-pottery-blackamoor-figure
