after the Meissen original by Johann Joachim Kändler, standing in a dancing pose with her left arm raised, wearing a pink and white turban, yellow coat and a floral patterned smock over pink skirts, on a mound base applied with leaves and flowers, 17.5cm high
Footnotes
Provenance
Klaber and Klaber exhibition, 2002, no.15;
With W W Warner Antiques, 2008
Literature
Hillis, Maurice, Liverpool Porcelain 1756-1804, 2011, p.309, no.7.73;
White, Mary, People at the Whites' House, Vol.5, 2024, p.71, fig.a
Produced in pairs, the original Meissen prototype for this figure is part of a set of 'Six Orientals' designed by Kändler in circa 1745, see F Berling, Festive Publication, 1910, p.28, fig.37. This set was based on a collection of engravings made by different French artists entitled 'Recueil de cent estampes représentant différentes Nations du Levant tirés sur les tableaux peints d'après Nature en 1707-1708 par ordres de M Ferriole'. Ferriole was the French Ambassador to Constantinople and the engravings included Bulgarians, Hungarians, Turks and Levantines seen in the streets of the city. The Meissen versions were reproduced in English pottery and porcelain by several factories including by Philip Christian, see for example lot 171 in this sale, which is illustrated alongside the present lot by Mary White.
It is likely that the Gilbody figures were copied from Longton Hall rather than directly from Meissen, see Maurice Hillis, 2011, p.307. A pair of Gilbody figures of Turks left in the white also from the Peter and Mary White Collection is illustrated by Mary White, 2024, p.72, by Bernard Watney, 1997, p.115, fig.459 and by Maurice Hillis, 2011, p.308, no.7.72. A similar coloured figure is illustrated by Bernard Watney, , 1957, fig.43. Compare also to the coloured Vauxhall or Longton Hall pair sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lot 115. No coloured Gilbody version of her companion would appear to be recorded.
