Royal Doulton 'Sunday Morning' HN 2184 Bone China Figurine

This is a vintage Royal Doulton bone china figurine titled 'Sunday Morning' (model number HN 2184), designed by artist Margaret Davies. The figure depicts a blonde woman in a graceful pose, wearing a long, billowing pale blue gown with subtle iridescent shading and a white, fur-trimmed bolero jacket or stole. Her hair is styled in a sophisticated 19th-century inspired updo with tight curls. The craftsmanship reflects the high quality of mid-century English ceramics, featuring hand-painted facial details including red lips and delicate blue eyes. The figurine stands approximately 7.5 inches tall and exhibits a high-gloss finish typical of bone china. Based on the style and model number, this piece was primarily produced between 1956 and 1971. The visible condition appears to be excellent with no obvious chips, cracks, or restorations, though a close inspection of the underside for the green Royal Doulton lion-and-crown backstamp would confirm its exact production era. The flowing drapery and delicate hand positioning demonstrate the superior porcelain modeling techniques used by the factory during its peak production years.
