Sense of Smell Figurine

This is a really nice and rare figurine representing Flora / Sense of Smell made by Bow around the mid 18th century - circa 1765. The figure is of a lady sitting on a tree stump on a typical base for this period with scrolls all around highlighted in pink, blue and gold. She is bending down to smell the flowes in her right hand, has more flowers filling her apron as well as flowers on top of the base and by her side. The best part are the amazingly well painted flowerrs on her skirt. As nice as it gets for this maker! The piece is in great condition with the expected minor damage to the flowers and leaves which ahve been well restored at some point. It's really in amazing shape given the fragile nature of the piece. She displays perfectly! The figurine is marked underneath with an unusual blue dagger and dot mark. Not a version fo the mark ones sees often. Red is more common. The figurine is 7 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 4 inches deep.

Price is $1249
