Techniques Soft-paste porcelain Artist/designer - Chelsea Porcelain factory Nicholas Sprimont (23/01/1716 - 22/06/1771) possible modeller Place - London, England Dimensions- Height 13.4 cm Width 19.6 cm Depth 8.4 cm Object Type - This is a small sculpture of a retrieving setter with two dead partridges and a greyhound with a dead hare. The pair were purely ornamental, and would probably have been displayed on a mantelpiece, in a glazed cabinet, or on another domestic furnishing. Their backs are comparatively uninteresting, so they were probably not intended to be seen from all sides. People The dogs were probably modelled by Nicholas Sprimont (1716-1771), the manager of the Chelsea porcelain factory. Sprimont is a rare instance of an English porcelain entrepreneur with design skills. A visitor to England around 1750 commented that 'an able French artist' supplied 'or directs the models' of everything made at Chelsea (Sprimont wasn't actually French, but was from a French-speaking part of Flanders). According to his widow, Sprimont had 'by his superior skill and taste in the arts of drawing and modelling and painting instructed and perfected several apprentices, workmen and servants'. He was also a gifted designer of silver, in which craft he had worked before setting up the Chelsea factory. Source: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O80202/figure/ |
