Royal Doulton Southern Belle HN2229.

Southern Belle was introduced in 1957/58 and was retired in 1997. She stands approximately 8” tall and 6” wide. She was signed by Michael Doulton on April 14, 1978, She is in mint condition. No box. I have done extensive research on this item to determine a fair asking price, but am still open to offers. She should be displayed for all to enjoy, not stored in a box.
