This exquisite and rare, 1925, Art Deco, figurine, that's often called'The Captured Bird','Bat Dancer' or'Butterfly Girl', modelled with arms outstretched to display her cape.

Condition, manufactured by Royal Doulton, England. This figurine was ceased in 1940.

The dancer has even been depicted and created with realistic ripples to enhance movement and shape, that's the extent of the detail, in this truly magical figurine. The detailing and workmanship in this figurine is superb, really strong vibrant colouring.

I really don't believe my pictures are doing this figurine true justice. The colours and the way they've been mixed is just truly magnificent. The base has all the black script and green stamped, Royal Doulton distinct markings, initials HA for decorator Harry Allen, guaranteed 100% genuine. No chips, cracks, scratches, restoration or damage. Just a very nice stunning Art deco Royal Doulton figurine.

Studio as an apprentice in 1902 working under. While studying part-time at the Camberwell School of Arts.

He went on to qualify and work in the. His main interest lay in clay sculpture and the design of free standing figures and he produced. Which came to the attention of. Despite his interest in figure modelling, and his apparent skill in that area, Leslie Harradine was required to design vases for the Lambeth Art Studios something he was not happy doing. His ambition was to set up his own small modelling studio where he could do the work he loved.

In 1916 the two brothers joined the army and left Canada to fight the great war in France. After only a short while Leslie Harradine was injured and spent time in a hospital back in England. Leslie Harradine had not been back in England for long when Charles Noke offered him a job as a figure designer at the Burslem works but he refused. Leslie had grown to like his independence and wanted to work only for himself.

He did, however, eventually agree to send Charles Noke some samples of his models on a freelance basis and so, in 1920, the first of his Royal Doulton figures, HN 395,'Contentment' was released. Leslie Harradine provided a regular supply of figures to Royal Doulton for almost forty years but always on a truly freelance basis, Leslie Harradine was the one to decide what he would model, and when, and he would send these, maybe up to three at a time, on a monthly basis to the Burslem works. Many hugely popular models flowed from his small home studio. In 1961 he moved to Spain where he lived and modelled local peasants in terra cotta (just for pleasure) until his death in 1965. Leslie Harradine is, without doubt, the most iconic artist ever to have worked for Royal Doulton, his pieces are collected and revered the world over!
