Description
A pair of Bow figures of a Shepherd Piper and Dancing Shepherdess c.1756, his pipes tucked under his left elbow, a dog recumbent at his feet, she holding her skirt up to dance, a lamb resting by her side, both raised on low pad bases applied with flowers, a small amount of restoration, 14.5cm. (2)
The likely source for these Bow figures is probably the similar figures produced at Derby, although they in turn were probably borrowed from Meissen.
