This Royal Doulton 8.25" Shauna Limited Edition Bone China Figurine with Bonus is a worldwide exclusive and marks Michael Doulton's first visit to The Shopping Channel in 2013. This gorgeous set boasts several firsts at The Shopping Channel. It is the first Royal Doulton Figurine to be embellished with an Austrian crystal from the Swarovski Elements Collection and it is the first figurine in the new Jewelled Figurine of the Year collection that celebrates popular gemstones—in this instance, the emerald (the birthstone for May). This handmade and hand decorated figurine depicts Shauna, looking so lovely in her emerald green gown trimmed with gold. All eyes will be on her as she makes her grand entrance, noting the appearance of movement in her petticoat, with perfection in every detail. Her beautiful 22 karat gold necklace with the genuine Swarovski crystal in emerald green sparkles amazingly and completes her look.
This stunning piece was designed by Nada Pedley exclusively for the Shopping Channel and it is the
Figurine of the Year 2013. Each limited edition figurine is handmade, hand numbered and will be hand signed by Michael Doulton himself.
Included with Shauna is a lovely brooch featuring the same crystal that is seen on the figurine. The brooch is made of fine bone china and has been hand decorated and trimmed in 24 karat gold.

Royal Doulton's Rich Heritage
Royal Doulton is the quintessential English name in tableware and fine collectibles, with a storied history that dates back to 1815. Headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire, England (a place renowned for fine English china and ceramics,) it is now part of the Waterford Wedgwood group.
Royal Doulton began when John Doulton made a £100 investment in 1815, launching a partnership with Martha Jones and John Watts at a stoneware factory in Lambeth, London. They established the world's first stoneware pipe factory, and went on to become Britain's top Victorian manufacturer of sewer pipes.
From there, John worked with his son, Henry, to develop the business, and they soon took on artistic pottery, including ornamental, commemorative, and tableware products. They launched the Lambeth Studio with local designers and artists, who experimented with materials and glazes in pioneering work. In 1877. the company purchased a major factory in Staffordshire.
The company moved to Nile Street, Burslem in 'The Potteries' in 1882, attaining a Royal Warrant from King Edward in 1901 to effectively put the royal into Royal Doulton. A Royal Warrant is a mark of distinction bestowed upon people or companies who have regularly supplied members of the Royal Family with goods or services. These are regarded as a mark of supreme excellence and quality, and cannot be bought or sold. Presently, the Royal Doulton brand holds two Royal Warrants.
Today, Royal Doulton is no longer a family run business, but it remains a "family" of English brands, merging with Minton in 1968 and gaining Royal Albert in 1971. They became part of the Waterford family in 1980, and remain true to the founder's ideals of quality workmanship and excellence in design, with a Design Studio in Stoke-on-Trent, and state of the art production facility in Indonesia. A family link remains in Michael Doulton, the Honorary President of the Royal Doulton International Collector's Club (RDICC).
Royal Doulton terracotta tiles and ornamental architectural details have been used on the facades of many buildings around the world, including several buildings in Canada - among them the Hotel Vancouver and the Southam Building in Montreal, the Bloor-Gladstone Library in Toronto and St. John's Church in Saskatoon.
As a company, Royal Doulton very early on developed a culture of innovation - married to a quality heritage - which lives today in its tableware and collectibles.
