The figure is seated on a tree stump with a dog at his side, framed by a low bocage and set on a pierced rococo base characteristic of early Derby production.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe model belongs to the seated musician group recorded by Peter Bradshaw. Model 301 is defined as a reissue of model 280 without the candle-holder, with related variants including model 307. Earlier versions (E12-E13) appear in several sizes and with different bocage heights. The underside bears the incised number \"301\" and the size numeral \"3\", confirming the factory classification. The mark corresponds to the early Derby period of circa 1750-1755, while the model continues into the 1760s.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bagpipe is rendered in a simplified form with a straight terminal instead of the usual flared end, reflecting a reduced and more economical treatment in production and not damage. Model 301 is considered one of the most successful versions within this group and remains highly collectable.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 14.8 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 8 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 252 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent antique condition; minor losses to a few leaves of the bocage, otherwise in very well-preserved state, no issues under UV.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Packaging\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62884678730058,"sku":"B1702","price":600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.7961252467_1p8r.jpg?v=1785916388","url":"https:\/\/gillersantiques.com\/products\/rare-derby-porcelain-figure-seated-bagpiper-dog-model-301-c-1760","provider":"Gillers Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
