Height: 8.5 Inches / 22 cm

A large and imposing early nineteenth century figure of the Dandies with overglaze enamel painted decoration, c.1810-30. In Myrna’s words,  “Dandy figure groups ooze personality” and this example is no exception. Although some of the groups utilise closely similar moulds, slight differences in placement or painting impart unique characteristics that allow each group to exude its own personality.
