Artsonline has dated this piece to the 1800s.
Brief Description:
The character is exceptionally appealing with very distinctive modelling, especially to the lion's mane and sheep's fur, often described as the "judge's wig."
John & Rebecca Lloyd founded the Lloyd Shelton Factory in 1834. They pioneered the 'shredding' technique by applying thin shreds of unglazed porcelain to figures, creating the appearance of matted hair
This piece was inspired by the lion tamer Van Ambrugh, who trained a lion to lie with the lamb as described in biblical texts.
Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) was so enthralled with the act that she attended the Drury Lane performance on two occasions in 1836.
The figure has great charm and quality, a feature of John and Rebecca's work. The gilt decoration on the base is an elegant feature.
