About the Item

A delightful antique French figural shepherd with sheep metal mounted porcelain bonbonniere dating from the early 19th century. The bonbonniere is of oval shape and has a brass hinged mount which comprises of a flat mounted porcelain oval disk finely hand painted with floral designs in colored enamels on a white ground which also forms the base. The body of the bonbonniere is of hollowed out oval shape and formed as a grass mound on which the figure of a shepherd lies and plays a flute. Next to him lies his dog with two sheep resting on the opposite side. The scene is well modelled and is hand painted with colored enamels on a green ground. The sheep and dog have simple black painted detail to their natural glazed white porcelain bodies. The bonbonniere has a tight-fitting cover which opens to reveal a white glazed interior, and the bonbonniere is typically not marked. Provenance: Acquired from the UK Art Market. In good used condition with wear associated with age and use with a minor glaze rough to the tip of a sheep ear.
