Fox
Dateca. 1747-48
Label TextThis figure came into Seattle's collection titled Crouching Fox, thus putting a good face on the fact that this early experimental work slumped in firing. Even so, the fox is so rare that only one other is known. Part of its appeal, especially to Bow aficionados, is the evidence of struggle in the early days of the factory.
