Rare Victorian Bisque Porcelain Figurines Set – Naughty Collector’s Items with Historical Charm
This special and rare collector’s set consists of five refined bisque porcelain figurines that have become known by various names over the years, such as “Bawdy Bisque Ladies”, “naughty trinkets”, “squirters”, and “pisseurs”. These unique antique porcelain figures originate primarily in Germany and were highly popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This specific set dates from the Victorian era and was seen at the time as a playful and naughty gift with a wink.
The figurines are in very good condition and show authentic, light signs of wear consistent with their age and character. What makes this set extra special is the original function: when the figurines are filled with water and the spout is blown into, the liquid playfully sprays out of the openings. This explains the historical names and makes them not only decorative but also an intriguing piece of heritage. Additionally, they were formerly used as perfume bottles.
These antique bisque porcelain figurines are a real eye-catcher and make a unique addition to any display cabinet, collector's collection, or interior with a fondness for special and historical objects.
