Circa 1800 bronze of the Maltese "Ninette" by Claude Michel Clodion (French, 1738-1814) Circa 1800 bronze of the Maltese "Ninette" recumbent upon a velvet tasselled cushion by Claude Michel Clodion (French, 1738-1814) The bronze is modelled from the tribute to Ninette a terra-cotta statute titled "Mausol'e de Ninette" (at the Musée Historique Lorrain, Nancy) by Claude Michel Clodion (1738-1814). The bronze sits on chamfered marble base. It is illustrated in "Bronze Sculpture of Les Animaliers" by Jane Horswell. The author notes that "although unsigned" it is included for its "exceptional quality and .... rarity". A terracotta version is in the collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay, Paris, (see image above). It perhaps inspired George Jones’ 1871 Majolica sculpture (see sepia image above) of a Maltese on a tasselled cushion and perhaps even Antoine-Louis Barye's (French, 1796 - 1875) or Emmanuel Fremiet's, (French, 1824-1910) , Spaniels recumbent on tasselled cushions.

A Barr Flight & Barr Worcester inkwell set depicting a Spaniel / Setter A Barr Flight & Barr Worcester lidded single inkwell set depicting a recumbent red and white Spaniel / Setter.

The scagliola finishes were popular by the maker from around 1800 to 1820. The painting of the Spaniel / Setter is possibly by Enoch Doe (English, ca. 1785 - fl. 1851). On the base the hand written script marks read, beneath a crown, “Barr Flight & Barr Worcester manufactured to their majesties Prince of Wales & Royal Familyâ€. This is considered to be the most elaborate of Flight and Barr porcelain marks. Together with the maker’s mark, in the same hand. Then incised ‘173’. English, circa 1815.
