Lady Figurine

This is a figurine of a lady made by Derby in about 1775. It is Andromache weeping over the ashes of Hector . She is very well modeled and the colors are well chosen. Even though the dress is extremely detailed and well painted it is not overbearing and the whole thing is just very elegant. The figurine is in pretty much the same condition as when it was first made with some manufacturing flaws such as black specs and firing cracks normal on these large pieces. There is a missed glaze spot on the urn, an area of glaze cracking where it pooled on top of the urn, some big firing cracks in the base but mostly underneath with parts showing on the front and on top. Like I said pretty much the same as the day she was made. Interesting are the markings underneath. There are the patch marks which show us that she is indeed Derby, an No100 which is likely the model number, then a 2d and a signature that I cannot make out - might be Size G or something like that. The figurine is 9.875 inches tall, 4.75 inches wide and and 3.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
