Antique Derby Chelsea Style Figure Shepherd Dog Lamb Sheep Porcelain Dresden
This matching pair of figures was made in an antique style to resemble Chelsea or Derby porcelain of the 18th century. The shepherd is a fairly close match to the Derby Dresden Shepherd, and the Dresden Shepherdess has been adapted somewhat so she is holding a basket rather than holding flowers in her apron. The bases are the style used at Derby in the 1760s.
They are about nine and three-quarters inches tall. Each is marked 18 (impressed) and an incised V. That doesn't help ID the maker, but they are probably continental, possibly German. His right hand has the fingertips chipped and repaired along with a few leaf and petal chips.
He seems to be holding a few round fruits in his right palm plums? , hard to see from the front.
I suppose there used to be more of them. She has quite a few leaf chips on the back, plus a few others here and there. Please check the photos to assess condition. They make a great display and the damage is minimal from the front.
