    There are differences between the link and your figures. But it sure captures a delectable moment!

    yes i have noticed that every depiction of this group has slight variations, but that proves it is all hand work. This is a very well known figure group and some examples are in musea. Would realy like to know if it is 18th century. nice find anyway.

    A beautiful piece, even with the missing grape in hand. A stunning artwork.

    if you google : the grape eaters biscuit porcelain. you will see all the examples known. Here are the pair that belong together and it is 18th century and has the same seams on the jacket of the man as on my example. And the rockwork looks the same. https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6041773

    it is nice but i doubt after all that it is 18th century. In this profession i always say nothing is what it seems. And most of the time it is to good to be true.

    Very true Hunt-It's a shame we don't find 5 to 15K treasures for lunch money every month.
