A lovely Parian ware figure with the impressed mark for John Bell and the date lozenge 1847. The figure is known as Dorothea from the Cervantes novel Don Quixote and was commissioned in 1838 as a life size sculpture in marble. Parian ware models were made by Minton from 1845 and were sold at the Great Exhibition for 2 guineas in 1851, a huge sum at that time. There is no Minton mark on the base, but it clearly shows John Bell along with the date lozenge.

The figure is in very good condition (the only chips being at the very base of the rock) and she stands 14" (35 cm) high. All items are sold with a 14 day money back guarantee.
