Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, figure of a Seated Minstrel or Troubadour, press-moulded, and painted over lead-glaze in yellow, green, red, brown, purple, and dark grey enamels. The unglazed underside of the roughly oval base is flat and has a circular ventilation hole in the centre. The minstrel sits on a tree stump with a projecting branch, decorated with applied berries and leaves. His right leg is crossed over his left, with its foot resting on a smaller tree stump at the front of the base, and he holds a guitar across his body. He wears a nightcap with a red turned-back brim, a white shirt, a narrow purple bow tied round the neck, a floral waistcoat, yellow and brown striped breeches, white baggy stockings, and red shoes. The guitar is brown, and the leaves on the tree stump are green and the berries red. In the back of the tree stump there is a square aperture to take an attachment, perhaps a candle branch.
