DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Creamy-white soft-paste porcelain, the figure press-moulded, the vat probably thrown and turned, covered with clear glaze. The little boy is seated on top of the barrel with his left leg forward and his left hand resting on its calf. He holds a bottle in his right hand and leans forward, as if becoming sleepy. He has tousled hair and wears a frill around his neck, and open-necked shirt and breeches. The vat stands on four rectangular feet. Its sides are incised to resemble staves and near the top and the bottom has a band of reeding. Low down on the front there is a closed trap for a spigot, kept shut by a short bar through a loop.
