Historic Guernsey interest - the silver medal awarded to William John Caparne by the British Iris Society, the 'Foster Memorial Plaque' medal in sterling silver, hallmarked by Toye & Co., London 1936, one side cast in bas relief with an oval portrait of Sir Michael Foster, within a bed of irises, a banner above inscribed 'In Memory Sir Michael Foster 1836-1907', the reverse inscribed 'AWARDED TO W.J.CAPARNE 1936', 3½ x 2in. (8.9 x 5.1cm.), in the original fitted morocco case, weight 6.55 tr.oz. * As well as a talented painter in watercolour and pastel, although tragically little recognised in his lifetime, Caparne was in fact very much better known for his knowledge and expertise in Bearded Irises, cultivating over 200 new hybrids during his years in Guernsey and being elected a fellow of the RHS in 1899. His cultivars were grown across the globe and he was a well known name amongst nurserymen and botanists in the UK, Europe, the Americas and Australasia. The British Iris Society recognised his significant contributions with the award of the Foster Memorial Plaque in 1936, just four years before his death in Jan. 1940.

After successfully exhibiting the dolls across Europe in the early 1920's, an increase in competition from cheaper manufacturers soon saw sales decline. The company then diversified into ceramics, unveiling their stylish figures at the International exhibition in Turin, 1928 to favourable reviews. The studio then began to collaborate with notable artists and sculptors, including Sandro Vecchietti, Giovanni Grande and Mario Sturani. Lenci ceramic figurines embody the Art Deco style of the time; many were designed by Helen Konig herself, effortlessly capturing the sensuality of the female form while evoking the fashions published in Vogue magazine. Nudity was extremely popular during the 1920's & 1930's and Konig's nude creations were especially successful. Lenci studio designers began incorporating the nudes into their designs in an array of different poses, but all retaining the slender, feminine physique typical of Konig's figurines and of the era. In very good condition.
