"Fiddler", a small, ceramic figurine crafted by Astbury-Whieldon, depicts a seated man playing a violin. The brightly colored figure, dated between 1740 and 1755, showcases the unique "Astbury-Whieldon" style, characterized by bold and striking lead glazes. This figurine, now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, embodies the popular "enclosed" style of English pottery figurines of the 18th century. The "Fiddler" exemplifies the whimsical and colorful artistry of the era, capturing the spirit of musical entertainment in miniature.
