About the Item

18th century Baroque/Rococo english glazed painted porcelain of a goat-riding tailor by Chelsea Pottery By: Chelsea Pottery, Meissen Porcelain (in the style of) Material: porcelain, ceramic, paint, enamel Technique: pressed, molded, painted, hand-painted, glazed, enameled, polished Dimensions: 3 in x 4 in x 6 in Date: mid-18th century, circa 1750 Style Rococo, Baroque, Neoclassicism Place of origin: England As the Baroque gave way to the Rococo in 18th century Europe, a playful sensibility emerged in the arts. This extended to porcelain, as seen in this circa 1750 figurine from England's pioneering Chelsea Porcelain manufactory. Founded around 1743, Chelsea Porcelain stood apart for its whimsical figural works, often drawing inspiration from continental tastemakers like Meissen and Sèvres. This hand-painted sculpture depicts a tailor astride a goat, with a kid tucked in a basket. The subject's finely rendered clothing and tools of the trade reference his livelihood, while the goat and pastoral motifs nod to Rococo tastes. Molded and painted using techniques adapted from Chelsea's european counterparts, the soft coloration and fluid forms showcase the manufactory's technical virtuosity. Beneath, the distinctive red anchor emblem marks this as their workmanship. At justsix inches tall, this glazed porcelain tableau combines wit and skill, encapsulating Chelsea Porcelain's place in England's 18th century ceramic arts scene.
