Grace - 2009 Figure of the Year
The Figure of the Year for 2009 has been marvellously sculpted for Royal Doulton by esteemed designer Valerie Annand. Vibrant, vivacious and sophisticated are characteristics that can describe "Grace" as she confidently enters the Grand Ball. She has a multi-tiered dress in cream wonderfully shaded by the artist using tones of subtle pink with a wonderful trail of a design based on the cherry blossom which spirals around its edge with the border lavishly decorated in Gold
Happy Birthday 2009

A Tribute to Classic Style and Beauty... Since their inception in 1913, Pretty Ladies have been one of Royal Doulton's most popular ranges of collectable figures. In fact, Pretty Ladies represent one of the largest sub-collections within Royal Doulton's HN Series of Figurines. (The "HN" refers to Harry Nixon, a painting supervisor, who in 1913 realized numbering figures would enable Royal Doulton and collectors to identify specific figures.) The HN numbering system is still used today, with more than 5,000 "HN" numbers being issued since 1913. Often characterized by the toe peeping out from a swirling dress, the appeal of Pretty Ladies is rooted in romantic names, beautiful faces and elegant gowns. Collectors are attracted to the rich, layered colors and brush strokes. Some of the most popular Pretty Ladies include the Figure of the Year and the annual Christmas Day figurine. In recent years, elements such as metallic accents, jewelry, nail polish and sculpted flowers have been added to Pretty Ladies, as well as figurines of different ethnicities and Petite and Miniature Ladies -- smaller reproductions of some of the company's best selling figurines. |
