A rare Bow figure of a street cook

A rare Bow figure of a street cook, after a Meissen model by Christophe Huet for the 'Cris de Paris' Series, the young man standing, wearing a white cap, puce patterned waistcoat, and blue breeches, and heating a saucepan on a marbled brazier, the scroll moulded mound base picked out in puce, 6 1/4" high, circa 1757, no mark

See Peter Bradshaw, Bow Porcelain Figures, plate 126, for a similar figure. Another is in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge
