This is a nice Vintage Cybis Porcelain Berengaria Large Bisque Porcelain Limited Edition Rare Figurine 432/500. This piece is in pretty nice condition with no nicks or cracks to the piece and everything ships exactly as shown. The dimensions of this piece are 6” long x 4 1/4” wide x 14 7/8” tall.
Berengaria, daughter of the King of Navarre and wife of Richard I, literally never set foot in England as its queen and may never have done so in her life at all. She was married to Richard on the island of Cyprus while he was on crusade (as usual!) and was crowned there. This sculpture of her is 15” tall and was an edition of 500 introduced in 1979 (prior to Richard) for $1450, and completed in 1981 at $1625. The correct name for this piece is just Berengaria, not “Queen Berengaria” as is seen in some online listings.
Supposedly this is the final sculpture that Marylin Chorlton designed; she died before she could finish it. One source has told me that Dorothy Kaminski worked on it after Marylin passed away. I do know that Berengaria’s headdress, hands, and falcon were definitely sculpted by Lynn Klockner Brown. By the way, if you look closely at the sculptures of Berengaria and her mother-in-lawEleanor of Aquitaine, you will see that they share something in common: the same lower body (torso/undergown/robe) mold as used for both of them! I don’t know if that was what Marylin Chorlton originally planned for it, however.
