Royal Doulton Leading Lady HN2269 Porcelain Lady Figurine Hand Decorated England Collectible Display Piece
Porcelain Lady Figurine Royal Doulton Leading Lady HN2269 Hand Decorated England Collectible
This porcelain lady figurine is the Leading Lady model HN2269, produced by Royal Doulton in England and hand decorated using traditional fine porcelain techniques. The figure represents a period lady holding a book, reflecting the classic character-based styling that defined Royal Doulton’s figurine production during the mid to late 20th century.
The piece stands at approximately 21 cm in height, with a width of 12.5 cm and a depth of 12 cm, weighing around 470 grams. It is crafted from fine glazed porcelain with carefully modelled folds in the dress and subtle hand-applied colour shading. The Royal Doulton backstamp and model number HN2269 are present on the base, confirming authenticity and English manufacture.
The Leading Lady figurine forms part of Royal Doulton’s long-running tradition of literary and character-inspired figures, produced for decorative display and collector interest rather than functional use. Such models are widely collected for their narrative poses, detailed sculpting, and consistent production quality, making them suitable for shelf display, cabinet presentation, or inclusion in a broader British ceramics collection.
The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or repairs observed. Any minor surface marks are consistent with age and careful display.
Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing. We want you to be 💯 confident with your order.
A great addition for collectors or vintage lovers.
