This hitherto unrecorded group is a rare addition to the corpus of known Naples models. Its clear paste and slightly rococo base would suggest that it dates from the earliest years of the Naples factory, perhaps even before its official start in 1773. Angela Caròla discusses the latest research into this period in Le Reale Manufatture Borboniche, Naples 1993, pp. 669 seqq.

The modeller of this group was probably Tommaso Bucciano, who was responsible for the group of boys in the Victoria and Albert Museum incised with his name. It is illustrated by Angela Caròla, Le Porcellane dei Borboni di Napoli, Naples 1986, p. 310. It was sold in these Rooms on 20 April, 1964, lot
