This porcelain figurine, crafted by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760, depicts a squirrel holding two purple plums. The squirrel's fur is painted in shades of orange and brown, and its body is white. The base of the figurine is decorated with a floral pattern. This small-scale figurine, measuring just 2 5/8 x 1 7/8 inches, exemplifies the high quality and intricate detail of Chelsea Porcelain, a renowned English factory known for its sophisticated animal figures and exquisite craftsmanship. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases the artistry and aesthetic sensibilities of 18th-century English porcelain.
