"John Barleycorn", a porcelain figure, was produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1756 and 1766. The figure depicts a man seated on a barrel, likely representing a "Barleycorn", a popular figure in English folklore associated with beer and ale. This figurine is a prime example of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory's distinctive style, showcasing detailed hand-painting, a vibrant color palette, and the use of gold accents. The figure stands at a height of 3 1/2 inches and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
