[QUOTE="James Munro, post: 4059097, member: 20242"]Hello all, I hope you can help. I have found a statuette of a 18th century European man of means. It is porcelain. The date 1789 is on the bottom as well as a separate number 16. The gentleman depicted wears a white wig, blue overcoat and waistcoat, purple knee length "shorts", white stockings and red shoes. I would like to know when and where this comes from (I'm not sure I the date on the bottom is referring to date of production or the time period it depicts.) I would like to know if there are others like this one, and if they are worth more than a trip to the charity shop. I wanted to upload an image, however this site will not let me as the files are too large. I am happy to send images through another medium if you prefer. Thank you in advance, I hope you can help me.[/QUOTE]
