Pearlware Tailor w/Goat

This is a superb figure of the tailor on his gaot after a Meissen original. This one here seems to be made of Pearlware or possibly Creamware and was made in the Staffordshire region in the 18th century. One of the nicest ones I have ever come across from this region! The tailor is sitting on his goat holding the horns with a basket of baby goats on his back. The goat has an iron in its mouth and the tailor has a pair of scissors on his coat as well as a pair of guns that I am fairly sure was not on the Meissen addition. The base has some nicely modeled flowers on it as does the stump udnerneath the goat. All in all a superb and fun figurine! Not sure who exactly made this piece but it is of top quality! The figurine is about 8.25 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 6 inches long. The piece is in superb condition with the top of the scissors missing, a glaze chip to his coat, one of the guns has the barrel missing and the base has some chipping to the bottom edge most of which is likely original to the making! Unmarked as is the norm. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
