Royal Crown Derby Twin Lambs bone china paperweight figurine. Gold Stopper. EUC

Royal Crown Derby Twin Lambs bone china paperweight figurine. This adorable pair of lambs are curled up together at rest and are part of the sheep family (see my other listings for the single lamb, ewe and ram). They were introduced in 1993 and retired in 1997. Hand decorated with blue curls of wool and gold highlights. Royal Crown Derby launched its first animal paperweights in a range of five birds and a rabbit at Chatsworth House in 1981. The creatures were beautifully sculpted by Robert Jefferson of Poole pottery fame, before being hand-decorated with the firm’s signature Imari pattern and highlighted with 22 carat gold. Eye-catching and of superb quality yet affordable, Royal Crown Derby paperweights are a collectable modern classic with broad appeal. What’s more, these addictive creatures make the ideal the gift for animal lovers, those with a passion for traditional ceramics or simply for someone who appreciates a beautifully crafted object. Production has expanded to over 650 individual designs that range from small ladybirds, snails and robins to the majestic Golden Eagle.
