A collection of figurines from the Royal Doulton Old Bear and Friends series, based on the characters and illustrations by British author Jane Hissey. The figures are constructed from cold-cast resin with a hand-painted matt finish, capturing the textured appearance of the original soft toys. The group includes several characters such as Old Bear, Bramwell Brown, Little Bear, Rabbit, Duck, Hoot the owl, and Jolly Tall the giraffe. Various scenes are represented, including characters engaged in play with alphabet blocks, reading atop a stack of books, and riding on a toy zebra. Several figurines are accompanied by their original printed cardboard boxes, which feature the Royal Doulton lion and crown manufacturer mark. Base markings and accompanying printed material include the copyright attribution for Jane Hissey.
Condition report:
The collection is in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The hand-painted surfaces appear well-preserved. The original boxes show signs of light shelf wear, minor scuffing to corners, and light age-related toning to the card.
