Royal Doulton Lady Figurines

The first Royal Doulton figurines were produced at Lambeth in London and Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent during the 1880's. Charles Noke, who would later become Art Director, was responsible for modeling many of the early figures and for developing the company's famous HN collection that was launched in 1913. In the beginning, Noke commissioned figures from a number of independent sculptors but in 1920 secured the talents of Leslie Harradine, who became the mainstay of the collection for more than 30 years. Since the 1890's, more than 2,500 different figures have been added to the range and are collected around the world.

Royal Doulton Lady Figurines - Beautifully modelled in translucent bone china, Royal Doulton Pretty Ladies figurines are hand made and hand decorated.

 Each figure bears the prestigious Royal Doulton backstamp as well as a unique reference number. Often characterised by the toe peeping out from a swirling dress, their appeal can come from a romantic name or a beautiful gown.

Pretty Ladies have always been one of Royal Doulton's most popular ranges of collectable china ornaments. Also known as Fair Ladies, they are a long-established part of the portfolio, beginning their modern life in 1913 at the start of the HN Series of figures - and the start of the rebirth of Staffordshire figure making inaugurated by Leslie Harradine and Charles Noke of Royal Doulton. Today, Pretty Ladies are the epitome of a bygone age of elegance and romance, and have become collectable as much for individual artistry as well as more contemporary ranges.

 The names of the sculptors involved reads like a Who's Who of Royal Doulton artistry: Leslie Harradine, Peggy Davies, Pauline Parsons, Peter Gee, John Bromley, Nada Pedley, Valerie Annand and Neil Walsh, among others.
