An attractive and rare Derby porcelain figure of a lady dancing, holding a posy in her left hand with her arm gently swung across her body and lifting the hem of her skirt with her right hand. Wearing a floral painted skirt, white bodice fronted frilly pink top and cream and orange brimmed hat, she is stood and a scrolled base against a low floral bocage. Patch marks to the base, c.1760-1770.

Reference: Derby Porcelain Figures 1750-1848, An Illustrated Catalogue, Stuart Shepherd (Derby Derby Porcelain International Society) - this figure is the companion CTMD28 to the Gentleman Bag-Piper CTMD27, page 138, both classified as rare.
