Description
A rare Vauxhall figure of a man c.1760, reclining on a scrolled base, his right arm raised above his head, a basket supported in his left hand, painted in bright colours, the base picked out in red, some good restoration to his right arm, 15.5cm high.
A similar figure, attributed to Longton Hall, is illustrated by Peter Bradshaw, 18th Century English Porcelain Figures, colour plate S. More recently, the class of figures to which this lot belongs have been reattributed to Vauxhall. See ECC Trans, vol 16, pt 1, p 68.
