Ref. V&A museum for several figures by the same maker, described as ‘Maker Unknown’. Their examples have various initial marks; these have the red anchor, as used by the Venetian porcelain maker Cozzi, active in the 18th century. As Cozzi finished in the early 19th century, these are paying tribute to the earlier factory, later in the 19th century.
