Derby Porcelain Seated Bagpiper Figure With Dog, Model 301, C. 1760

An English Derby porcelain figure of a seated bagpiper with dog, model 301, size 3, dating to the 1760s. The figure is set on a pierced rococo base with low bocage.

Model 301 belongs to the Derby seated musician group and is defined as a reissue of model 280 without candle-holder, with related variants including model 307.

The underside bears the incised number “301” and size “3”. The mark corresponds to the early Derby period of circa 1750–1755.

The bagpipe is rendered in a simplified form with a straight terminal instead of the usual flared end, reflecting a reduced and more economical treatment in production and not damage.

A compact and clearly attributable example of early Derby porcelain.
