Royal Doulton Precious Moments

The unique emotional bond between mother and child is celebrated by this annual figurine and there’s no better way of thanking a mother for her undying love. Neil Faulkner’s design for the 2017 Mother’s Figure of the Year, Precious Memories, recreates an enchanting moment shared by a mother and daughter. The girl’s pale lemon dress features a delicate lace bodice and a fine gold line traces the soft flounces of her pretty dress. A butterfly adorned hair slide matches her dress and the youngster gazes in wonderment as a small butterfly rests on her outstretched hand. Her mother’s softly draping lilac gown is tied at the waist with a cream belt decorated with a floral brooch and she holds a bouquet of late summer flowers. Exquisite details including pearl jewelry and a gold line around the hem of her skirt add elegance to her costume.
