At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York there are six of these mermaids and mermen and mer-children which have somehow survived in their glazed porcelain fragility since the middle of the 18th century.

| Doccia Manufactory, Florence Merchild ca. 1750-55 porcelain Metropolitan Museum of Art |
"In the 1740s Carlo Ginori, the founder of the porcelain factory at Doccia, acquired a number of sculpted models in wax, terracotta, and plaster made by some of the leading Florentine baroque sculptors. The challenge and reward for the porcelain modelers at the Ginori factory was to overcome the technical difficulties of this fragile new medium and to retain the dynamism and balance of the original models."
