This figurine was my grandmothers and was bought in England over 50 years ago. It sits on a roughly made wooden disc that has hand made wooden stem feet (3). It has a glass dome that has a rough edge that sits in a groove in the disc stand. It is very detailed and there is a royal crest on the back of the chair she sits in. Please see pictures. I really don’t know anything else except my Aunt (now in her 90s) said it is very valuable. I don’t know. Any information anyone has will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

An acknowledgement in J.B. Priestly’s Victoria’s Heyday dates the figurine at circa 1850. It was taken at the County Museum, Hartlesbury Castle, Worcestershire, England. The photo is attributed to a Don J. Adams of Worcester. I have sent an email asking if they still have the figurine and if they have any further information that they could share.
The museum came back and the photo depicts their acquisition; date to the museum (1970) and its presumed date as 1864. They further suggested it may be a Spode Copeland piece. I am trying to run this lead down now.
