Soft-paste porcelain figure of the White Partridge, presumed slip-cast, lead-glazed and painted in blue, bluish-green, yellow, red, red-brown, purple, and black enamels.  The partridge stands on both feet astride the stump, in profile to right with its head turned to its right. The larger tree trunk has three multiple stems bearing flowers, extending upwards under the bird's breast, and there is a spray of ivy on the ground.  The bird is painted in red-brown and purple, with red combs and a red-lined black beak; the tree at the front is yellow with red and blue dotted flowers; the leaves on the base are bluish-green.
