* Albert Ernest Carrier (Carrier de Belleuse) was a talented and famous French sculptor. Apart of his full-size conventional sculpture, he supplied models for several English manufacturers, including Minton. At the time of 1851 Exhibition he modelled several pieces for the factory, one of them: "Boy with bamboo basket and Girl companion figure". Some models will bear A. Carrier's signature, but by no means all models bearing his signature are of Minton manufacture. His stay with Mintons was limited to 3-4 years, from 1850. After his return to Paris he occasionally carried out commissions for Mintons and other firms.

** This models are illustrated in "Minton pottery & porcelain of the first period 1793-1850" by Geoffrey A. Godden, plate 152.
