These lovely ladies have been in my family for 3 generations.I am not sure of their origin. My mum gave them to me in 1977 when I first got married.
They have a number underneath 5021 but no other marks.
Any help to identify would be greatly appreciated.
I am actually catalogue ing all my stuff for the next generation.They love it all but haven't a clue if it's junk or not.so here goes....
I wasn't sure which category to ad this to.
The Three Graces.
Thanks Vetraio50.I had known this way back when but because I had it stored away and got it out just a few years ago again I have forgotten.
thanks 4 your input.
So would I be correct in dating this pre 1891 as there is no mark or country of origin?
stunning!!!!!!
Beautiful and Vet is right one ! The Three Graces
From the youngest to oldest the Graces were: Agleaea ("Beauty"), Euphrosyne ("Good Cheer"), and Thalia ("Festivities"). Also known as the Charites (Greek Mythology name) or Gratiae by the Romans
