Description

A very decorative mid 19th century Parian figure, 'Go to Sleep' depicting a young girl with her dog, trying to send her dog to sleep.

This figure is in excellent condition with no visible damage other than a small mark to the base that I believe is a firing mark rather than a chip.

The reduced model in porcelain was given by the Art Union of London as prizes in 1863, 1864 and 1865. Reference from 'Parian Copeland's Statuary Porcelain' by Robert Copeland page 105 GP30.
