This porcelain figurine, "Swan," created by the Saint James's Factory between 1750 and 1760, is a fine example of 18th-century English porcelain. The delicate, lifelike depiction of the swan, adorned with a gold collar and chain, showcases the skill of the factory's artisans. Its small size, 3 1/8 × 2 1/2 inches, suggests it was intended for a private collection or as a decorative object. The swan's graceful pose and intricate detailing, along with the floral motif on its base, are hallmarks of the Rococo style prevalent during this period.
