A rare Chelsea Red Anchor figure of Autumn c.1755

A rare Chelsea Red Anchor figure of Autumn c.1755, from the Rustic Seasons, modelled as a vintner, slovenly dressed with his shirt untucked and open and one stocking unrolled, carrying a length of fruiting grapevine over one shoulder, raised on a low pad base, some good restoration, 13.5cm.

The figures in this series were copied from Meissen, and are also known at Longton Hall. Cf. Rosalie Wise Sharp, China to Light Up a House, p.62.
