A Bristol figure emblematic of Water, circa 1775From a set of the Elements, the female figure wearing classical drapery painted with floral sprigs, with a wreath in her hair, holding a net filled with fish in her right hand, her left resting on an urn gushing water, three further fish at her feet, raised on a shell-moulded mound base, 25.4cm high, impressed mark 'To'Footnotes:A similar figure is illustrated by F Severne Mackenna, Champion's Bristol Porcelain (1947), fig.103. The impressed mark 'To' is the personal mark of John Toulouse and suggests a link with Bow, Worcester, Caughley and Chamberlain figures. A figure emblematic of Air from this series from the Liane Richards Collection was sold by Bonhams on 13 April 2016, lot 195.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 151
A very rare Bow model of a red squirrel, circa 1760-65Naturalistically modelled, the near life-sized animal seated on its haunches gnawing at a nut clasped in its front paws, an impressive tail arched along its back, its fur simulated with fine brushstrokes of enamel in tones of brown and red, the scrolled base applied with flowers and leaves, raised on four scroll feet picked out in puce and pale green, 21.3cm highFootnotes:A very similar pair of Bow squirrels is illustrated by Frank Stoner, Chelsea, Bow and Derby Porcelain Figures (1955), pl.110, in which the only discernible difference is the lack of applied flowers to the bases. An earlier version of this model was also made at Bow, circa 1752-54, see the example exhibited by Simon Spero, 2012 exhibition, no.16. This in turn seems to be based on a white Chelsea model produced during the Triangle Period. An example from circa 1746 is in the British Museum (accession no. 1887,0307,II.7), illustrated by Elizabeth Adams, Chelsea Porcelain (2001), p.35, fig.3.20, who suggests that it probably derives from a Meissen original. Another was sold by Sotheby's on 9 April 1999, lot 289.The modelling of the present lot is somewhat fuller than the Chelsea examples, with more detail rendered in the paws and tail together with the addition of a scroll base. A model more closely resembling the Bow version, with a similarly bushy tail and upright ears, was produced in creamware, see the example in the British Museum (accession. no. 1887,0307,H.42). Miniature versions of this model were also produced at Bow, see for example that from the Billie Pain Collection sold by Bonhams on 26 November 2003, lot 38.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 153
A large Bow figure of Flora, circa 1760The goddess standing beside a flowering stump, wearing a floral robe held up with her right hand to reveal her bare feet, a pink and yellow cloak hanging from her left shoulder, holding a wreath of flowers in her left hand, raised on a square base painted to simulate marble, 44cm highFootnotes:This figure is based on the Roman marble original in the Farnese Palace. A similar figure is illustrated by Anton Gabszewicz and Geoffrey Freeman, Bow Porcelain (1982), p.138, no.226. A version left in the white is in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection (accession no. 1960-348).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 149
A rare Bow chamber candlestick, circa 1765The fluted flower-shaped nozzle raised from the centre of a saucer-like dish moulded with rococo ornament, the twig handle issuing finely modelled florets and leaves, painted in blue trailing floral sprays and sprigs, 13.2cm diamFootnotes:ProvenanceEric Manson Collection, Simon Spero exhibition, 2012, no.26Candlesticks were regarded as luxury items and surviving examples are rare, presumably because they were easily broken. Examples of closely related shape were also made at Worcester and Derby. For another chamberstick of very similar form but with slightly different decoration see the example from the Pinewood Collection sold by Phillips on 31 October 2001, lot 12.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 143
A Chelsea figure emblematic of Air, circa 1760From a set of the Four Elements, modelled as a woman wearing a purple ermine-lined dress with a turquoise-green skirt, her left arm raised above her head holding the edge of her red ermine-lined shawl blowing in the wind, an eagle standing at her feet, on a shaped mound base, 21.5cm high, gold anchor markFootnotes:For a complete set of the Four Elements by Chelsea see Peter Bradshaw, 18th Century English Porcelain Figures (1981), p.119, pl.46 and see col. pl.E for Bow versions of Earth and Water. A similar figure of Air was sold by Bonhams on 9 September 2009, lot 47.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
