This charming Beswick figure from the Beatrix Potter collection is titled "Kep and Jemima." Issued in a small limited edition of just 2,000 pieces in 2001, this substantial piece beautifully captures one of the most memorable scenes from The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.
The figure depicts the wise, faithful collie dog, Kep, sitting alertly on a grassy mound as he listens intently to the naive Jemima Puddle-Duck. Jemima is instantly recognizable in her signature blue bonnet and her pink paisley shawl with its finely molded fringed trim.
The entire piece is meticulously hand-made and hand-decorated in England, showcasing Beswick’s legendary craftsmanship. The realistic textures of Kep's golden-brown and white coat contrast beautifully with the vibrant, hand-painted colors of Jemima's attire and the lush greens and yellows of the textured countryside base.
Measuring 10.5cm tall and a generous 19.5cm wide, this model makes a wonderful focal piece for any display. It is in great condition with its glossy finish and delicate details perfectly preserved. Please note that it is being offered without its original box or certificate, but stands as a highly collectible and rare find for any Beatrix Potter enthusiast.
