Royal Doulton Lily Bone China Figurine

At 13.5 cm tall and 9 cm wide, this Royal Doulton Lily bone china figurine, with her soft pink dress, blue bonnet framing her face, and floral shawl adding colour and texture to the composition, has the gentle femininity and fine hand-painted detail that characterise Royal Doulton's figurine tradition at its most appealing, the combination of the soft pink and blue palette with the floral shawl giving the piece a warmth and colour that rewards display in good light.

Made by Royal Doulton of Stoke-on-Trent, one of England's most celebrated bone china manufacturers, Lily is an example of the lady figurines that Royal Doulton has produced since the early 20th century, when the HN series of figurines was introduced and quickly became one of the most enduring and widely collected categories of British decorative ceramics. The quality of the hand-painted detail, which renders the soft pink dress, the blue bonnet, and the floral shawl with the precision and luminosity that the bone china body and fine enamel colours allow, is consistently high. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
