Another, as Collection model, with remains of a fish in beak, and with pair in opposed direction; both in the white, Statham Collection, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Accession #C.22A/B-1992. A probably slightly later pair, enamelled in an early palette, the Lady Ludlow Collection, Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, 8.9 cm and 9.3 cm, Museum #: 2004.19.1 & 2/Cer, as 1752-56, and ‘possibly modelled by M.

This would have to be one of the earliest bird models in English porcelain.
