Description: Glassy soft-paste porcelain pheasant of 'Snowman' type, slip-cast (?), with applied moulded details, covered with thick, bubbly, clear lead-glaze, which has black speckles here and there, and is heavily speckled and 'dry' round the edge of the base. The underside is unglazed and has a large and deep oval ventilation area near the front. The shallow base has a wavy outline with a small rock or tree stump at the back and a large rock at the front. The pheasant faces to the viewer's left. It stands on its left leg with its right on the rock, and its long tail over but not touching the small rock or tree stump. A vine bearing applied leaves and bunches of grapes climbs up the front of the rock and terminates by the pheasant's right shoulder. The top of the branch is open to take an attachment. On the base there are two applied daisies with three leaves each below the bird's tail, and one daisy with two leaves on the rock in front of its left foot. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | Longton Hall Porcelain Manufactory porcelain animal figure | Temporal: | name=mid 18th Century; start=1750; end=1752 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
