$80 · Royal Doulton Kate Greenway Series Figurines

Three 6 inch vintage figurines: Ruth (HN 2799), Carrie (HN 2800), Sophie (HN 2833). All in very good condition. Made in England in 1975 and 1976. What a deal! Kate Greenaway was one of the most popular figures in British book illustration in the latter part of the 19th Century. Her illustrations for children's books have remained so popular the world over that her name has become synonymous with an English childhood. Her England is a world of childhood, where children dance in flowery meadows and characters from nursery rhymes find a life which is forever beautiful and innocent. The quaintly dressed children with their adult expressions were an overnight success in the 19th century and enjoy great popularity today. Royal Doulton has wonderfully captured many of Kate Greenaway's sweet characters into fine bone china figurines, a tender collection inspired by the original sketches. These enchanting collectible figurines of young children have captured the hearts of Royal Doulton collectors worldwide. The discontinued series is a treasure to display and enjoy!
