Lauren HN 3872

Sorry I know this is a bit of a strange title for a blip but it does have a story behind it. This is one of the Royal Doulton figurines that we used to buy my mum as birthday or Christmas presents - she really loved and cherished them. 
Each figurine has a name and an HN number - which is named after Henry Nixon (1886 - 1955), head of the Royal Doulton painting department, who joined the company in 1900.
You can actually look up the number on a list and it will tell you who the designer was and when it was first produced. Lauren was designed by Nada Pedley in 1997.  So she's 25 this year - Happy Birthday Lauren!
