Pheasant 1745 - 1755

This 18th-century porcelain figurine, titled "Pheasant," is a striking example of the work of English artist William Littler. The piece showcases Littler's mastery of the medium, with its delicate details and graceful portrayal of a pheasant perched on a rocky outcropping. The white glaze and minimalist detailing of the figurine create a sense of elegance and refinement, typical of the Rococo period. Currently residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Pheasant" stands as a testament to the artistic skill and enduring appeal of English porcelain in the 18th century.
