Royal Doulton Figurines

Royal Doulton figurines were first made in the 1890s at both their factories in England. At Lambeth in London, they specialized in stoneware models, such as George Tinworth's Merry Musicians and John Broad's classical ladies. At the Burslem factory in Stoke-on-Trent, they introduced Vellum style porcelain figures modeled by Charles Noke, who later became their art director.

Noke was responsible for developing their famous HN series of figurines, which was launched in 1913. HN stands for Harry Nixon who was in charge of the figure painting department and kept records of all the designs. The HN numbering system has continued to the present day with nearly 5,000 HN numbers allocated to Royal Doulton figurines and animal models. New designs are issued each year and we work with the company, commissioning exclusive collectible figurines, such as the tribute to Pope John Paul II.

Royal Doulton has produced some of the most collectable figurines in the world and our buyers travel extensively to find the rarest and most desirable designs. Many collectors invest in the Royal Doulton retired figurines designed by their leading artists in the early 20th century and these are generally the most expensive models today. Limited edition series from the 1970s and 80s are also very collectible and we can help our customers complete their sets.

Our massive inventory includes many hundreds of collectible Royal Doulton pieces and the recently retired and new prestige designs are considered by many to be the heirlooms of the future. Royal Doulton has a thriving International Collectors Club with thousands of members, who subscribe on a regular basis to exclusive offers. Pascoe and Company also commissions figurines, especially for our customers.
