Hare can be rather dry when cooked, and for that reason the cook has threaded strips of fat through its skin before putting it to roast, a process known as larding. The figure was modelled by J. J. Kaendler (1706-75) , and probably also by J.F. Eberlein (1695-1749), about 1750, and is Meissen model no. 1303. reference term-147404 adlib-term-147404 958f6651-398e-3ba1-955b-ad229f49bc18 third quarter of 18th century reference term-110409 adlib-term-110409 2040047c-eefc-3538-8b3d-60185614825b literal Germany Germany country literal Saxony Saxony region Meissen clear reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-37627 adlib-term-37627 254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7 hard-paste porcelain Height cm 16 reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Purchased from Willy Lissauer, Berlin on 5 May 1933 for £40 by Cecil, 2nd Baron Fisher (1868-1955) ; Lord and Lady Fisher of Kilverstone 1 reference object-140356 adlib-object-140356 d66280df-41f8-3833-9915-431362a2b0d2
