declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Bow Porcelain Allegorical Candlestick Figure Ceres As Earth c.1765 (LA373545) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1765-1774
condition
Condition is very good: there has been some very good quality restoration to her left arm and a small section of the base. Two chips to the edge of the candle sconce rim tucked out of obvious sight and a short hairline also to the rim. The original metal cap that fitted over the screw inside the sconce is missing and the sconce has been invisibly attached to the candle arm so is fully stable. The usual minor chips to a few petals and leaves. There is a firing crack under the base from the candle arm hole which has been stabilised with two staples.
