Royal Doulton Lavinia HN1955 Bone China Figurine

At 14 cm tall and 10 cm wide, this Royal Doulton Lavinia HN1955 bone china figurine, with her rich red gown with pink accents, bonnet detail, and floral basket at her side, is a vintage Royal Doulton figurine of genuine collector appeal, the richness of the red gown and the warmth of the pink accents giving the piece a colour and presence that the softer-toned figurines in the Royal Doulton range cannot match.

Made by Royal Doulton of Stoke-on-Trent and produced in the 1940s, Lavinia HN1955 is an example of the lady figurines that Royal Doulton has produced since the early 20th century, when the HN series was introduced and quickly became one of the most enduring and widely collected categories of British decorative ceramics. The 1940s production of Royal Doulton figurines is particularly sought after by collectors, the quality of the hand-painted detail and the richness of the enamel colours of this period being consistently high, and Lavinia, with her rich red gown, bonnet detail, and floral basket, is a subject that combines the formal elegance of the lady figurine tradition with a warmth and colour that gives the piece considerable decorative appeal. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
