Description:

Delightful vintage pewter figurine of a young girl wearing earmuffs, a scarf, and ice skates, gracefully posed beside a small tree trunk. Signed by sculptor D. Gorri and stamped “Utexiourl Pewter SHL P491” on the base. Hand-cast in England in the late 20th century, this piece beautifully captures the innocence and joy of a winter ice-skating scene, perfect for collectors of English pewter art or seasonal décor.

Brand History:

Utexiourl / S.H.L. Pewter England was a distinguished English pewter foundry active from the mid-20th century through the 1980s. Based in the Sheffield region, known for its fine metalwork, the company produced detailed pewter miniatures portraying children, animals, and nostalgic everyday moments. Each sculpture was individually hand-cast, finished, and polished, often signed by artists such as D. Gorri, celebrated for expressive and heartwarming designs.

The S.H.L. hallmark reflects Sheffield’s long pewter-casting heritage, where artisans maintained traditional techniques that dated back centuries. The alloy’s smooth silver tone and durability made pewter ideal for collectible figurines.

During the 1970s–1980s, Utexiourl released numbered limited editions like the P-series, which included this P491 “Ice Skating Girl.” These pieces are now appreciated by collectors for their craftsmanship and emotional charm, representing the artistry and hand-finished quality of British pewter sculpture before industrial mass production.

Important Note:

Please carefully inspect each photo of the item, as I do not accept returns. Every product I list is thoroughly checked to ensure there are no major damages that would render the item unusable. If an item has a minor issue that doesn’t affect its function, I always mention it in the description, leaving it up to you to decide if it meets your criteria. Rest assured, if a product is listed, it’s because it can be used without problems; these notes are simply for full transparency.

The no-return policy does not mean I sell damaged goods; rather, it’s in place due to past issues with returns where items were sent back that weren’t the same as those originally shipped. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of the system, disregarding the hard work and effort put in by small sellers like myself. This does not mean I believe you would do the same, but I want to be transparent about why this policy is in place.

I am not a large corporation; I am just an ordinary person striving to move forward and take joy in each sale I make. I aim to highlight every detail of each item to the best of my ability. In extreme cases, like when a product arrives damaged due to shipping (which has happened once before), I always work out a satisfactory resolution with the buyer.

I wanted to explain why I don’t accept returns, but rest assured, you can buy with confidence knowing that I am dedicated to providing quality items. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
