An exquisite Royal Doulton Pretty Ladies figurine titled “Autumn Ball” (HN5465), crafted in fine bone china and hand-painted in rich autumnal tones of crimson, gold, and cream. Designed to embody the elegance and movement of a lady at a grand seasonal ball, the figurine stands approximately 22 cm tall and is part of Royal Doulton’s celebrated Pretty Ladies collection.
Issued in 2011, this piece was modelled and authorised by Michael Doulton, whose signature appears on the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity. It captures the graceful poise and flowing detail synonymous with Doulton’s later-period designs — a perfect blend of contemporary colourwork and traditional charm.
