A rare Lowestoft figure of a pug dog c.1765-70, crisply modelled and standing four square with its head slightly turned to the right, raised on a flat shaped base and left in the white, a chip from the front of the base, 5cm high. Together with a small collection of fragments and kiln wasters. Provenance: a private collection in East Anglia. Cf. Geoffrey A. Godden, Lowestoft Porcelains, p.132, pl.165 for a polychrome model with head turned to the left, suggesting that these were made in pairs. Seated figures were more common, but wasters with this flat base have been found at the factory site.
