The figure depicts a female street vendor selling buns, a subject reflecting contemporary interest in everyday urban life at the turn of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSuch street-seller figures belong to the wider European Cris de Paris tradition and were adapted in England with distinctive modelling and colour palettes characteristic of Derby production. The figure is lively and well composed, with a clear narrative pose and careful attention to costume. The modelling is confident and expressive, enhanced by fresh polychrome enamels and well-preserved gilding.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underside bears a red Derby crown mark consistent with production around circa 1800. The irregularly shaped base and overall finish correspond well with Derby porcelain figures of the late Georgian period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 18 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 9 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 328 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nRight arm professionally reattached.\u003cbr\u003e\nRestoration to the right thumb; little finger of the right hand chipped.\u003cbr\u003e\nLeft hand with chipped thumb.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe belt intended to support the basket is partially missing.\u003cbr\u003e\nOtherwise very good condition, with strong colours and well-preserved gilding.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
