Lovers and clown 1750 - 1760

This porcelain sculpture, titled "Lovers and Clown," is a delicate and whimsical piece by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory dating from 1750-1760. The sculpture depicts a couple seated under a leafy tree with a jester-like figure standing behind them holding a plate. This charming scene, likely inspired by contemporary theatrical productions, provides a glimpse into the fashionable taste of the 18th century. The detailed porcelain figures and the intricate floral patterns that adorn their clothing and the base of the sculpture reflect the high standard of craftsmanship of the Derby Porcelain Manufactory, one of the most influential porcelain producers in England.
