declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Rare Derby Porcelain Figure of Winter c.1760 Four Classical Seasons Vulcan (LA157945) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1760
condition
Condition is excellent; the putto has lost his axe handle and his right index finger has been professionally restored. The tips of the branches to the man's right are missing the tips and there are a couple of very minor chips to the leaves of the small bocage at the back and the tips of a few of the flames in the brazier. No other damage or restoration. Surface wear is minimal but there are some craze lines in the glaze of the "skin" areas. There are 2 firing lines under the base.
