Royal Doulton Bunnykins Figurines, Retired - Last Chance Description: Earthenware Highly Detailed Certificate of Authenticity Giftboxed The Tale of Bunnykins Figurines...Bunnykins figures were introduced almost 40 years after the introduction of Bunnykins Nurseryware. In 1972, Royal Doulton introduced the original nine Bunnykins figures, which were inspired by Walter Hayward's Nurseryware patterns. They averaged 4 inches tall and each received a "DB" number. In the 1980's, Harry Sales, Design Manager of the Beswick factory believed the rabbit characters should reflect the interests of contemporary children. However, he soon realized Bunnykins figures could also have an adult appeal. Accordingly he introduced a collection of sporting subjects around the time of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. This new direction coincided with the 50th Anniversary of Bunnykins Nurseryware, and adults began to purchase the figures as whimsical gifts. Before long, the hunt among adults for early Bunnykins models added to the popularity and collectability of the range. Hand-made and hand-painted using multiple colors, the earthenware body allows for intricate and subtle sculptural details. Bunnykins figures have stood the test of time for more than 30 years by remaining one of the most easily recognizable Royal Doulton product ranges -- appreciated by collectors around the world.
