object type: Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, figure of a Dancing Boy, press-moulded, with hand-modelled details, painted over very slightly turquoise-tinted lead-glaze in greyish-blue, yellowish-green, bluish-green, yellow, pink, flesh-pink, orange-red, dark purple, pale brown, and grey enamels, and gilt. The glazed concave underside has a ventilation hole under the figure. The circular base has incurved sides with six kidney-shaped holes in the front, and a scrolled edge forming five low supports. It rises up at the back into a tree stump with a small triangular hole at its base, a few applied leaves higher up, and flowers and leaves on each side. The boy stands on his right leg with his left leg forward, holding both arms curved round in front of him. He has long pale brown hair, and a bluish-green hat with a red and pink feather attached to the turned back brim at the front. He wears a white shirt, an orange-red waistcoat with gold buttons, a pink coat with a green lining, gold edges and buttons; trousers with a red, purple and gold floral pattern; and blue shoes with a pink flower on top. There are three groups of applied flowers and leaves at his feet. The base is picked out in pink, turquoise, and gold.
