Description

A Bow figure of a Flower Girl c.1755-60, modelled with a basket of flowers suspended from the crook of her right elbow, her left hand holding the hem of her overskirt, wearing a patterned jacket and a hat tied with ribbon, some good restoration, 15cm.

Cf. Peter Bradshaw, Bow Porcelain Figures, pl.128. Bradshaw suggests that this figure is perhaps a copy of a Chelsea figure of Spring.
