Lady 1745 - 1755

This Staffordshire figure, created by the Thomas Whieldon factory between 1745 and 1755, portrays a woman in traditional attire, standing with a small dog by her side. The figure, made of lead-glazed earthenware, is a fine example of the 18th-century English ceramics tradition. The use of brown and white glazes, characteristic of Whieldon's work, contributes to the figure's charming and decorative appeal. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the artistry and technical skill of Staffordshire pottery during the mid-18th century.
