Royal Doulton Mandy HN2476 Bone China Figurine

At 13 cm tall and 7.5 cm wide, this Royal Doulton Mandy HN2476 bone china figurine, modelled by the celebrated Peggy Davies and dated 1982, stands with quiet poise, a yellow vase held gently in her hands, the understated elegance of the subject and the meticulous hand-painted detail of the execution combining to produce a piece that represents Royal Doulton's figurine tradition at its most refined.

Made by Royal Doulton of Stoke-on-Trent and modelled by Peggy Davies, one of the most celebrated figurine modellers in the history of Royal Doulton, Mandy HN2476 is an example of the lady figurines that Davies produced for the house across a career spanning several decades. Peggy Davies, who joined Royal Doulton in 1939 and became one of the company's most prolific and admired modellers, was known for the elegance and precision of her figurine work, and Mandy, with her quiet, composed pose and the yellow vase that she holds as a decorative accent, is a subject that expresses Davies's characteristic combination of formal elegance and warmth of characterisation. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
