declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Derby Porcelain Tithe Pig Figure Group Model N293 c.1790 (LA497564) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1790
condition
In very good condition for such a complicated arrangement with just a few minor points to note: The farmers right wrist has been repaired and the surface touching up is a bit yellowed over the hand but there doesn't appear to be any fabrication/restoration. His staff has been restored below his left hand and the same applies as before with the colour touching up around the hand but the porcelain appears fine. The wife is missing her left thumb, the handle of the egg basket is also missing and there is some restoration to the brim of the vicar's hat. Some minor paint losses to the black enamel and a few small paint losses to the black and maroon enamel have been carefully retouched. Minor handling wear otherwise and the bocage appears to be in a lot better condition than most.
