                                         THIS WEEK I AM LISTING VARIOUS PARIAN FIGURES, SOME MIGHT BE RARE. A beautiful Minton Parian ware figure of 'Dorothea' dressed as a peasant youth and capturing the moment when she stops to bathe her feet in a stream, casting aside her disguise.  The original life-sized marble figure was made for Felix Summerly's Art Manufacture and was commissioned from John Bell (1811-1895) in 1838 by Lord Lansdowne and shown at the Royal Academy in 1839. The subject is from Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote. Finely modelled, this impressive piece is in excellent condition with all the detail intact and no restoration. Rare to find in such good order, as these large figures are often heavily restored and usually of a later date. Impressed Minton 'ermine' mark and year for around 1847 I think, with molded John Bell mark. ALSO INCISED IN THE BASE THERE ARE SOME NUMBERS/LETTERS THAT I CAN'T DESCRIBE, SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. THIS FIGURE IS: Height = 35 cm, Width = 17 cm,  Depth = 18.5 cm. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL DARK HAIRLINE MARKS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES, I THINK THEY ARE FIRING CRACKS, NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. SHE IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION; SHE COULD DO WITH A LIGHT CLEAN

PLEASE STUDY PICTURES CAREFULLY. THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND THE BEST WAY FOR YOU TO APPRECIATE THE CONDITION OF THE ITEM SOLD IN THIS AUCTION.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. SO PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM IF YOU ARE NOT SURE. QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED AS SOON AS I CAN, BEFORE THE END OF AUCTION.
