A Wedgwood Jasperware chess piece late 18th century

A Wedgwood Jasperware chess piece late 18th century, modelled by John Flaxman as a figure of a Fool, standing with arms crossed and raised on a circular oval lilac base, impressed mark, 7cm. Cf. David Bindman, John Flaxman, p60 for Flaxman's drawing of the full chess set, which was produced from 1785. It is possible that the figure of the Fool was produced for a French chess set instead of a bishop.
