A charming Derby porcelain model of a pointer poised on a naturalistic base covered in flowers and propped against a well modelled tree trunk with applied leaves to the reverse. The dog in liver and white with a beautiful doleful face with detailed markings. c.1800-1820, marked with the number 34 in enamel under the base.

It measures 16.5cm (6 1/2") long, 10.2cm (4") high and 7cm (2 3/4") deep.

Condition is excellent. The tail has been professionally repaired at the base. A few leaves on the tree trunk have been chipped and colour matched. There is a slight scuff to the glaze on his left ear. No restoration and very minor handling wear. A lovely, bright and very nicely coloured example.
