A 1981 Royal Crown Derby Fine Bone China Robin Figurine - A 1981 Royal Crown Derby fine bone china figurine depicting a European Robin. The bird is modelled in a naturalistic pose, perched upon a textured tree stump base decorated with green holly leaves and red berries. The figurine features hand-painted decoration with a matte finish to the bird's plumage and the tree stump, contrasted by a high-gloss glaze applied to the eyes and berries. The underside of the base features a red printed backstamp comprising a crown above a stylised monogram of the letters D and R, encircled by the words ROYAL CROWN DERBY ENGLISH BONE CHINA. Below this is a red copyright symbol, the word ROBIN printed in black, and the Roman numeral XLIV in red, which corresponds to the Royal Crown Derby date code for 1981.
