For many years Royal Doulton displayed this special model in their showrooms at Nile Street, Burslem, to demonstrate the artistic and technical virtuosity of their ceramic artists. It was 'Not for Sale' and was used to take orders for this Prestige model - the most expensive piece ever offered by the company. The closing of the Nile Street factory in 2005 released this unique piece into the marketplace. In good condition.
