cf. Dennis G.Rice , Rockingham Ornamental Porcelain, colour plate 21.

Provenance:
The Dennis G. Rice collection of fine Rockingham porcelain

As well as being an avid collector of Rockingham ornamental porcelain and animal figures, Dr. Dennis G. Rice was an academic and wrote two key reference works on the subject – Rockingham Ornamental Porcelain (1965) and the Illustrated Guide to Rockingham Pottery & Porcelain (1971).
A number of the pieces illustrated in the books are offered below. The Rockingham animals figures in the collection are also published in Dennis G. Rice's companion books Dogs & Cats in English Porcelain and English Porcelain Animals of the 19th Century.

Her left arm has broken and re-stuck at the shoulder and just above the elbow. One section of the basket handle and rim is lacking and presumably she once held a wood or metal stick in her left hand now lacking. There are typical losses to leaves on the base and two tiny splinter chips to the back edge of the base.
