Chessmen (32) 1795 - 1815

This set of 32 chessmen, crafted between 1795 and 1815 by David Dunderdale & Co., demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship of early 19th-century English porcelain. Each piece, from the towering king to the diminutive pawn, is sculpted in a delicate white glaze, showcasing the skill of the artisan. The intricate details of the figures, including their attire and weaponry, are a testament to the high quality of English porcelain production during this period. The set is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
