Designed by acclaimed Royal Doulton artist Peggy Davies, Buttercup belongs to the Pretty Ladies Collection, a series celebrated for its elegant silhouettes and refined detailing.

Issued circa 1963, the figure depicts a lady in motion, her skirt billowing outward from a fitted dark green bodice, accented by soft yellow sleeves and cream undertones. The hand-painted glazing and sculptural movement are hallmarks of Davies’ most collectible work, combining traditional craftsmanship with a romantic, pastoral aesthetic.

Crafted in England from fine bone china, the underside bears the Royal Doulton crown backstamp and model number HN2309, confirming authenticity and period. A timeless decorative accent well suited for traditional, English country, or classic interiors, and an excellent addition to a curated Royal Doulton or porcelain figurine collection.
