Note du spécialiste


Based on an earlier Flemish figure, only four figures from this mold are known to exist. These include the example formerly in the Rous Lench Collection, sold Christie's, London, 29 May 1990, lot 10; the example from the Glaisher collection now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; and the polychrome example at the Victoria & Albert Museum (museum no. C.102-1950). See M. Archer, Delftware, the Tin-glazed Earthenware of the British Isles, Norwich, 1997, pp. 325-6, no. G.2 for the example at the V & A for a further discussion of the model.
