Description
A fine Derby figure of a boy representing Africa from the series The Four Quarters Of The Globe. He stands barefoot on a naturalistic base half kneeling on his companion animal, a very cute looking little lion. He is clad in pink and turquoise stole with an impressive elephant's head headdress. He holds a red lobster in his right hand and the left hand is cupping a cornucopia of exotic fruit. Patch marks and incised N200, c.1770.
Reference: Derby Porcelain Figures, Bradshaw, entry number 200, plate 249.

declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Derby Porcelain Figure of Africa From The Four Quarters of The Globe (LA502169) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1770
condition
In rarely excellent condition. The lobster has had the tips of three legs chipped but that appears to be the only issue to note. I cannot find any repairs or restoration; this black enamel is thickly applied and fires a bit unevenly but everything appears fine. Very minor handling wear, just a little in places to the black enamel and to the edge of the top fold of his pink stole around his waist. There is a firing crack across the lion's tail and another small firing fault to the back of his tail.
