Three Royal Worcester candle snuffers, date codes for 1924 and 1925, of Confidence and Diffidence, depicting the singer Jenny Lind as a nightingale, alternately dressed in a yellow, pink or blue gown and holding a sheet of music, printed marks, 11cm.

Provenance: a private collection in Hampshire.

Jenny Lind first visited the Worcester porcelain factory in 1849, and settled close to Worcester following her retirement. These snuffers are believed to have been designed as a tribute in recognition of the charitable concerts held by Lind to raise money for the local hospital.
