Description

A large Bow white-glazed figure of Flora c.1756-60, emblematic of Smell from a set of the Five Senses, holding a small posy up to her nose, standing beside a pierced urn resting atop a square pillar garlanded with flowers, a small amount of good restoration, 28cm.

This figure derives from a similar one modelled for the Meissen factory by J F Eberlein.
