Royal Doulton Peggy HN2038 Bone China Figurine

At 13 cm tall and 8 cm wide, this Royal Doulton Peggy HN2038 bone china figurine, with her rich red and white dress and the warm, charming character that Royal Doulton's figurine tradition is celebrated for, is a collectible example of the house at its most appealing, the richness of the red dress giving the piece a colour and presence that draws the eye in any display setting.

Made by Royal Doulton of Stoke-on-Trent in the 20th century, Peggy HN2038 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 quality of the hand-painted detail, which renders the red and white dress and the figure's features with the precision and luminosity that the bone china body and fine enamel colours allow, is consistently high. The warm, charming character of the modelling, which gives the figure a liveliness and individuality that distinguishes the best Royal Doulton figurines from more generic ceramic figures, is well expressed in this example. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
