Infant Bacchus 1750 - 1760

"Infant Bacchus" is a charming porcelain sculpture created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760. The piece depicts the Roman god of wine as a chubby, naked child, crowned with grapes and vines, and attached to a chain. This figurine is a testament to the Chelsea manufactory's skill in producing delicate and intricate porcelain pieces, demonstrating the artistic and technical sophistication of 18th-century English ceramics. The use of vibrant colors and detailed modeling adds to the playful and whimsical nature of the sculpture, making it a delightful example of Rococo-era aesthetic.
