A porcelain figurine of a fish, likely a carp or koi, decorated in a style highly characteristic of Royal Crown Derby paperweights. The body is finished with an intricate overglaze enamel pattern of overlapping scales in orange and white, highlighted with fine gilding. The dorsal, pectoral, and caudal fins feature delicate pink and gold linear detailing. The fish is mounted on a rounded cobalt blue base decorated with a gilded honeycomb pattern. Two adhesive labels are present on the base: a white rectangular label printed with the number 2 and an orange rectangular label with the handwritten characters 20s or 205. No factory marks or backstamps are visible in the provided image.
Condition report:
The figurine appears to be in very good condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of professional repair. The gilding remains bright and shows no significant signs of rubbing or wear.
