Rare Doulton Figure To Be Sold

A very rare Doulton figure is to be sold at Lawrences of Crewkerne in October. Called the 'Sketch Girl', she was based on the front cover of the Sketch magazine in the 1920's.
 
Designed by Leslie Harradine, she was produced from 1923-1938 in limited numbers, and is part of a small group of Doulton figures that never received an official HN number.
 
Lawrences Auctioneer Simon Jones said, " This is a particularly rare figure, which does not appear at auction very often. There is still a strong demand for early Doulton figures, and we expect a lot of interest"
 
The figure is expected to make £500-£800 in auction.   For further enquiries please contact Simon Jones on 01460 73041.
