| Girl with a Basket of Eggs William Duesbury & Co. 1765 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Made in Derby, England, around 1765, by William Duesbury & Co., this figure in soft-paste porcelain is painted with enamels and gilded. The figure, in typical Duesbury style, depicts a girl with a basket of eggs. She stands beside a tree trunk on a rococo scrolled base.
Such a figure would have joined similarly pastoral figurines or groups on a grand dining table during the dessert course.
