A pair of Bayreuth fayence figures of seated dalmations mid-18th century

each naturalistically modelled on an octagonal base.

Both with some very minor and occasional glaze abrasions/chipping to the edged. The one on the left in the catalogue illustration has been of its base and put back together. Otherwise generally good condition.
