Girl gardener 1755 - 1765

This small porcelain figure, titled "Girl Gardener," is a charming example of 18th-century Chelsea porcelain. Created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1755 and 1765, it depicts a young woman in a colorful dress holding a basket of flowers. The figure's delicate features, elaborate attire, and playful details, like the small bird perched atop her basket, are characteristic of the Rococo style. This miniature sculpture, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistry of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory during its golden age.
