On display is a large white porcelain mythological statue, most likely made by the Doornik or Tournai factory in Belgium. On a high irregular rock with moss covering and flat oval irregular base we see a female half-naked goddess with only a loin and shoulder cloth on, with putti at her side. In her right hand she carries the globe, in the left she holds a snake. She is sitting on a rock and looking to the right. On her right shoulder there is a putto with a quiver on the back, the left arm wrapped around her shoulder and with the right arm pointing. Behind her is a second putto with hammer and chisel and raised left arm. At the bottom left of the goddess are two turtledoves. The pressed molded heavy statue has a central opening, representing a cave. Several cracks are scattered as a result of the baking process. At the bottom we see how thick-walled and hollow the statue is with a granular structure pointing to soft porcelain and showing several brown impurities in the pâte, perhaps due to the iron-containing pâte. It has a glossy white glaze. The statue dates from the rococo period around 1765. It is not marked, but Tournai figures never were. I also thought of an origin of Doccia Italy, but this was asked of the Doccia friends who strongly deny this.

Condition: several baking flaws, normal for soft porcelain at the time, right arm of putto restored and right wing missing, thumb of other putto damaged, otherwise very good status.
