Columbine Dancing
Factory: Bow Porcelain Manufactory
Soft-paste porcelain figure of Columbine Dancing.
Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, press-moulded, and covered with slightly speckly lead-glaze on the visible surfaces. The closed underside is unglazed and has an oval ventilation hole at the back. The low base is almost round, with a small projecting rock on the right, and a square aperture at the back to take an attachment. On the front there are two applied flowers, each with two leaves, and a very small flower on the rock. Columbine stands on her left leg with her right leg raised in front. She turns her head over her left shoulder and holds out both arms towards her right. She carried a slapstick under her left arm, now missing except for a portion attached to her waist. She wears a broad-brimmed had, turned up at the front, a ruffle round her neck, a long-sleeved bodice with a basque, and a full skirt.
