The early modern period saw the development of children’s furniture, like highchairs, which encouraged the child to sit up ‘politely’ whilst eating, and permitted participation at family meals. Children’s comportment at table was an indicator of education and refinement. Was the figurine given as a present to a new mother? Or as an instructive toy to a child? Given how well- preserved this example is, it must have spent much of its life out of harm’s way. Probably Die Porceleyne Schotel Factory, Delft, Netherlands, c.1764 – 73. This figure was probably made at Die Porceleyne Schotel (Porcelain Dish) factory during the proprietorship of Johannes van Duijn, 1764-72, or of his widow 1772-3. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century, third quarter reference term-14204 adlib-term-14204 1ed4c21f-4b80-3e93-9893-96e83eabef87 literal United Provinces of the Netherlands United Provinces of the Netherlands country Delft buff reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-39575 adlib-term-39575 cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4ab tin-glaze Height cm 13 Width cm 8.3 reference media-41583 adlib-media-41583 d3834c49-4cec-36ae-afa5-296f0c03d69b jpeg aa/aa9/C_2773_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583017132 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2773_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583017132 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2773_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583017132 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2773_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583017132 1 image 0 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Part of a small collection purchased by Debenham and Freebody, London, where bought on 12 June 1896 by Dr J.W.L.
