Rare Pair Of Derby Porcelain Figures “dresden Shepherds”, William Duesbury & Co., England C.1760, Rococo Bases With Lamb And Dog

£900    $1,217    €1,038
A rare and important early Derby porcelain pair by William Duesbury & Co., depicting a shepherd with dog and shepherdess with lamb. Made around 1760, these figures mark the transition from the Pale Period (model D17) to the later “Dresden Shepherds.”
 
Each stands on a pierced rococo base with applied bocage. The shepherd carries a basket of flowers beside his hound, while the shepherdess gathers flowers in her apron with a lamb at her feet. The modelling, translucent soft-paste body, and richly fired enamels illustrate Derby’s adaptation of Meissen prototypes by Johann Joachim Kändler into a softer, distinctly English Rococo idiom.
 
Listed in Peter Bradshaw, Derby Porcelain Figures 1750–1848 (Faber & Faber, 1990, pp. 211–212). Comparable examples reside in the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum.
