Designed by Neil Faulkner, A Woodland Christmas depicts Santa seated on a log amidst the snow and surrounded by forest animals including birds, rabbits and deer, as he offers them a little festive cheer. He holds an apple in one hand and a little bird perches on his other hand, whilst a second bird cheekily looks on from the top of Santa s fur lined hat. By his feet is a tempting bag of fruit and nuts. Painted underglaze, this colourful study is full of nostalgia for Christmas s past and is created with all the attention to detail that s one of the much loved qualities of Royal Doulton s figurine collection. Santa is dressed in traditional style with a fur trimmed red jacket, trousers and hat, fastened with a wide black belt and wearing boots, and he sports a full and flowing white beard. The charming scene reflects the seasonal sentiment of goodwill to all.Fine bone china Shop At House Of Fraser
