Item Details
Description
19th Century Victorian porcelain birds nesting on a dresser fairing, trinket box. In good condition,with most of the color & gilt remaining. 2 1/2" H X 2 1/4" W X 1 1/2" D. They were given away as prizes at the fairground and were mostly small porcelain ornaments. The word fairing (‘fayring’ or ‘fairin’ in old English) is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as ‘a present given at or brought from a fair’ and it comes from the Latin ‘feria’ meaning a holiday. Fairings were made of white soft-paste porcelain and often incorporated figures.
