This addition to Pretty Ladies really is the pride of Scotland! Her dainty pink shoe to the fore, Rose of the Glen exudes elegance - from her handsomely detailed face and beautiful long brown hair, to the decorated shades of pink and cream on the dress and elaborately embossed bodice. Take a closer look and this Royal Doulton Pretty Ladies figurine features an intricate, specially designed tartan weave shawl with rich tones of mauve and pink, loosely draped over her arms.
Pretty Ladies have always been one of Royal Doulton's most popular ranges of collectible bone china figurines. Also known as Fair Ladies, these handmade and hand-decorated sculptures are a long-established part of the portfolio, beginning their modern life in 1913. Today, Pretty Ladies are the epitome of a bygone age of elegance and romance, and have become highly collectible. 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.
Often characterized by the toe peeping out from a swirling dress, their appeal can come from a romantic name or a beautiful gown. They are handmade of bone china and individually decorated by hand, which contributes both to the collectibility and the lasting allure of Royal Doulton Pretty Ladies. Every Pretty Lady features a Royal Doulton backstamp and comes delivered in a stylish black and white gift box lined in black satin, complete with a double-sided Certificate of Authenticity. Makes a wonderful gift for that special someone!
