Dresden Porcelain Figurine 'Lavender Sellers' | Yardley's English Lavender Advertising Statue, Early 20th Century

This is a rare, early 20th-century porcelain advertising statue commissioned by the historic English perfume house, Yardley's of London, to promote their renowned "Old English Lavender" fragrance.

Produced by skilled artisans in the Dresden region of Germany, the statue represents a unique collaboration between a classic English brand and premier German ceramic craftsmanship. The subject matter depicts 'Lavender Sellers'—a woman and two children in period costume holding baskets of lavender, a romanticized theme popular at the time of its creation.

Designed as a high-end promotional display for retailers, this substantial statue stands 31 cm tall. Its primary function as an advertising piece is evident in its ornate base, which prominently features the "Yardley's Old English Lavender" name, making it a significant piece of commercial history.

An important find for collectors, this item holds appeal in multiple categories: antique German porcelain, historical advertising memorabilia (advertisiana), and Yardley's brand heritage. It stands as a tangible artifact of early 20th-century marketing and decorative art.
