Description
A Royal Worcester candle snuffer date code for 1919, of Confidence, depicting the singer Jenny Lind as a nightingale, dressed in a yellow gown and holding a sheet of music, printed mark, 10.5cm.
Jenny Lind first visited the Worcester porcelain factory in 1849, and settled close to Worcester following her retirement. This snuffer (along with its pair, Diffidence) is believed to have been made as a tribute in recognition of the charitable concerts held by Lind to raise money for the local hospital.
