Abigail is a young and vivacious character piece, clad in amber and green eveningwear. The marvelously flared dress flatters her figure and is complemented by a bright bolero blouse and a green bodice. The sort of quality you can depend on in bone china Pretty Ladies, handmade and hand decorated by Royal Doulton.
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. Packaged in an elegant satin-lined black and white gift box, each Pretty Lady also includes a two-sided Certificate of Authenticity. Makes a wonderful gift for that special someone!
