Royal Doulton Figurine Lori (HN 2801)

This is a fine bone china figurine entitled 'Lori' from the Royal Doulton Kate Greenaway Collection, model HN 2801. Standing approximately 6 inches tall, the piece features a young woman in a Regency-style costume, characteristic of the illustrations by Kate Greenaway. She wears a pale yellow high-waisted empire gown accented with a vibrant magenta sash and a matching row of floral motifs along the hem. A wide-brimmed yellow bonnet sits atop her reddish-brown curled hair, decorated with a large pink bow. She holds a small bouquet of pink flowers in her left hand. The figurine is finished in a high-gloss glaze with a soft, hand-painted facial expression. Construction is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century Royal Doulton production (issued circa 1976-1981), demonstrating excellent craftsmanship with fine detail in the ruffles of the neckline and the folds of the dress. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, and the colors remain bright and saturated. The piece sits on a square white integral base which would typically house the Royal Doulton lion and crown backstamp on the underside.
