Royal Doulton: Standing the Test of Time with Classic Beauty and Elegance



Nothing shows better craftsmanship than those exquisite pieces of art that are hand-painted and carefully moulded. Most of us can indeed appreciate fine art when we see it – whether it’s a painting, a highly-detailed sculpture, or a beautiful piece of ornamental china. 

Unfortunately, nowadays, it is difficult to find exceptionally-made pieces of art that we can proudly display in our homes. Most of the so-called ‘art’ that is produced during these times is mediocre, unimaginative, and hastily done. But sometimes, it is still possible to come across a magnificent example of art – and one does not even have to visit a museum to find it.
 
Royal Doulton has been known as a premier producer of finely-crafted ornamental china and figurines for generations. This company has created a wide array of life-like, beautiful figures, showcasing the best of intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. There have been a variety of Royal Doulton figures produced over the years, from the famous Doulton Ladies to popular characters in classic novels like fiddlers, cobblers, fishermen, Father Christmas, huntsmen, jesters, balloon sellers, pirates, Punch and Judy, Robin Hood, and shepherds, to historical figures such as Sir Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare, Ann Boleyn, Captain Cook, Charlie Chaplin, Elvis, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, and much more.

The Royal Doulton collection also features children figurines, white and black images, sentiments, images of nature, and classiques which are composed of figures dressed in early 1920’s garb. With Royal Doulton’s images of nature, collectors can choose from striking sculptures that include otters, elephants, swans, puppies, whales, cats, chicks, lion cubs, rabbits, cheetahs, tropical fish, dolphins, giraffes, and owls, among others, which are featured in repose or at play. 

 There is also a wide selection of Royal Doulton – Sentiments figurines, which are composed mostly of retired figures. These include Christmas Angel, Embrace, Good Luck, Friendship, Loving Thoughts, Sweet Dreams, Wisdom, Thank You, and more.
