Male Figure in Front of Tree c. 1765

This pair of porcelain figures, created by the Bow Porcelain Factory circa 1765, depicts a man and a woman standing amongst flowering branches. The figures are dressed in ornate clothing and pose in a lively manner. The Bow Porcelain Factory, founded in 1744, was a major producer of English porcelain during the 18th century. These figures are a fine example of the factory's craftsmanship and the popularity of Rococo-style decorative arts.
