Modeled as a young courting couple sitting on the rocks, the young man teaching the girl to play the flute. She has thrown her yellow bonnet to the ground and her little pet lamb lies at her feet.
Strasbourg Faience is represented in museums around the world including several pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Figural groups are very rare.
Acquired from a collector of fine antique porcelains who has amassed such over the last 40 years.
Age: circa 1770.
Condition: Remarkably good condition for pieces from this period. The only flaw is some typical glaze wear to high points in places.
Hallmarked on the underside with the Strasbourg factory mark (dotted H over the number "39" painted in blue).
Similar groups (somewhat more elaborate) have sold at Christie's, New York for £4,560.
Listed by East2West Furniture Florida.
