Only the one you show here is more unique than any of hers I remember. Jo My Scottish grandmother collected them and mom took up the tradition. Then mom inherited some of her mom's and kept going from there. I used to go with my father to the jewelry store to help pick out the new Doulton for Mom's birthday. Now, of course, online makes it all so much easier! And she hasn't gotten a new one in almost 10 years. It arrived a bit early but Mom is thrilled and Dad commented on how nice a gift it was. I expected to get a lecture about wasting my money but, nope, didn't happen! Hey, you only turn 80 once, right? I'm lucky I can remember which ones she already has Jill |

I don't have but one piece of Royal Doulton - an antique bird. My Mom had some cups and saucers which my sister has, I think. I'm not really into collectibles of that nature (figurals) but I can appreciate the beauty of them. The only figurals I have are Arts and Crafts period (Rookwood). -L. |

This is a "petite lady"; the pattern dates back to 1964. Mom has some very old pretty ladies that belonged to her Scottish mother. I also have tea cups and saucers from various bone china makers; Mom gave me the ones she didn't care for. I sip chamomile tea from a Foley bone china cup I don't have room to display them but maybe some day! Jill |
