Description: Glassy soft-paste porcelain, press-moulded (?), and lead-glazed. The glaze has small black speckles here and here, particularly round the lower edges of the sphinx. The open underside has a bevelled edge, and is unglazed. The sphinx is recumbent on a low rectangular base. She faces forward with her head tilted slightly to her right. Her hair is tied back into a knot and then falls down in two strands, over her right shoulder in front and over the left at the back. She wears a small cap on the left side of her head, a drape around her shoulders, and a shaped cloth over her back with two tassels on each side. | 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: | figure porcelain Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory | Temporal: | name=mid 18th Century; start=1749; 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 |
