Animal studies

Since 1908, more than 1,000 animals have been added to the Royal Doulton range. In the collectors' world of ceramic animals, those of Royal Doulton are considered the finest ever produced. The quality of the modeling, the authenticity and the realism are unsurpassed by any other factory.

Over the years, many different designers, including Charles Noke, Leslie Harradine and Peggy Davies have contributed to the collection. Their animal models have varied from highly realistic with textured fur and feathers to contemporary, sleek and stylized.

There are well over 1,000 different Royal Doulton animals to choose from, and for this reason most collectors focus on a particular animal type to collect. There are still many different models, sizes, and colors of each animal type to keep even the most diligent collector busy!
