Royal Crown Derby large Peregrine Falcon bone china figurine paperweight. EUC.

This Royal Crown Derby bone china figurine has truly captured the fierceness and elegance of the peregrine falcon. Perched on a base decorated with fir branches and pinecones, the stunning falcon is heavily decorated with 22kt gold. At 8" tall, this would be a centre piece for any Royal Crown Derby collection. 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.
