Antique Copeland Parian Ware Crystal Palace Art Union Bust of 'Enid' by F M Miller c1860

A beautifully modelled Parian bust by Copeland after the sculpture 'Enid' by F M Miller, RA. Enid the Fair and the Good appears in both Arthurian and Welsh legend and later in Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King' (Geraint and Enid) which was probably the inspiration for Miller's work. Finely detailed, with lovely flowing hair and her bodice features heraldic lions and fleurs-de-lys and is held by a celtic knot brooch.

Please note there is a piece missing from the headpiece on the left hand side which you can see close up in the final photo, but it is not immediately obvious and does not detract from the overall look of this beautiful piece. Apart from that there are no other chips cracks or restoration

stands approx 22 cm high, 14 cm cross shoulders 10 cm across base of bodice

Rare Find. Impressed Copeland, ENID (in Gothic lettering) and F M MILLER SC.
