A large and previously unrecorded Bow figure c.1760-65
A large and previously unrecorded Bow figure c.1760-65, probably depicting Nike or Victory, the winged goddess with both arms extended and holding a flower garland before her, standing before fruiting and flowering bocage, the circular base with a gilt husk border, red anchor and dagger mark, some restoration, 35.5cm.
Mythological figures of this type are unusual in Bow porcelain and this may be an attempt to imitate the Muses being produced at Chelsea.
