A Bow candlestick group

A Bow candlestick group of Columbine and a boy singer, flanking a begging dog: she playing a zither, and he with arms raised, each decorated in coloured enamels, and picked out in gilt, before a flower applied tree-stump, supporting a scroll moulded sconce, on flower and leaf applied scroll moulded base, picked out in puce and gilt, 10 1/4" high, circa 1765, no mark

See Peter Bradshaw, Bow Porcelain Figures, page 190, figure 197, for a similar group
