I would love to know more about this piece. I call it porcelain, it has some weight to it. Beautiful detailed young people with a basket of 2 rabbits. I love the way her hand seems to almost be touching his shoulder. When my daughter was small she would pretend to tickle their little feet, ticka, ticka.
On the base at the back are the initials RC17. It's about 10 inches tall. I have heard the word Parian but don't know much about that. Does anyone know what this is? I am cleaning out Mom's house and would love to know. Thanks.

Thanks martika! Thanks to Dizzydave I learned that the artist was Robert Cooke.
Nineteenth century was its heyday. Minton did a lot of these.
