White porcelain scent bottle depicting a boy with his arms wrapped around a tree stump and grabbing a goat by the horn. Concave domed base without marks. The gilt mount stopper has a vine truss. Similar scent bottles are attributed to Kelsterbach (Germany) manufacture ca 1760, but this one probably belongs to the manufactures of Chelsea, around 1760.
