The leaves and flowers are well modelled, and painted in a style reminiscent of those found on Coalport pastille burners, of the period. This unusual and elaborate group, is set upon a gilt edged rococo scroll moulded base. Height – 34.3 cm, 13 1/2”. Width – 31 cm, 12 1/4”. Depth – 17.5 cm, 6 7/8”. The images cannot convey the size and scale of this exceptionally large figure group. Condition – Some typical firing faults, and wear to the enamels and gilt – please see images for detail. No restoration.
