The copyright date of 1937 appears on the backstamp alongside the full Royal Doulton Tableware Limited mark, placing this example within the original production line of one of Harradine's most celebrated compositions. The figure depicts a young woman at the top of a hill, her full skirt caught in the wind, one hand raised to secure her wide-brimmed hat against the breeze — a moment of movement and animation that Harradine captured with the same instinctive understanding of pose and gesture that distinguishes his finest work. HN1834 is the red colourway, the original and most sought-after version of the model, and it is this colourway that collectors identify most closely with the figure's enduring appeal. The backstamp carries the modeller's signature alongside the figure name, HN number and copyright date — a fully documented and unambiguous example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure depicts a young woman in a sweeping red dress with a yellow-lined underskirt, the full skirt caught in fluid movement. She wears a wide-brimmed hat in yellow-green with a dark red brim and a blue ribbon trim, one hand raised to hold it against the wind. A white fichu sits at the neckline with green sprig detail. The modelling of the face is refined and expressive, with a warm, forward-looking quality characteristic of Harradine's lady figures at their most accomplished.

Winkle \u0026amp; Co Ltd operated from the Whieldon Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, from the late nineteenth century until the 1930s. The \"Ltd\" designation in the backstamp dates this piece to the period after 1911, when the company incorporated, placing production within the window of c.1911–1931. The trade name \"Whieldon Ware\" was a deliberate evocation of Thomas Whieldon, the celebrated eighteenth-century Staffordshire master potter, and was used by the firm to signal quality and continuity with the finest traditions of English earthenware production. The Mandarin pattern — a polychrome chinoiserie-influenced floral design drawing on the famille rose tradition of Chinese export porcelain — was among the most popular decorative treatments applied to English earthenware serving pieces of the Edwardian and interwar periods, combining the visual richness of the Chinese floral vocabulary with the accessible warmth of English transfer-printed and hand-finished production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter is of generous oval form, the well-proportioned body carried on a flat base with a rim edge finished in a deep rust-brown line. The decoration covers the full surface in a layered composition: the well carries a central spray of large pink peonies, orange buds and blue daisies on scrolling brown stems, rendered with considerable clarity and colour depth. The broad border carries alternating large floral clusters — pink peonies and orange blossoms — set within a framework of teal scrollwork, blue panel reserves and a fine crosshatch gilt-brown diaper band. The overall palette of deep pink, teal, orange, green and rust on a cream ground is vivid and well-preserved. The hand-finishing of the decoration is evident throughout in the quality and freshness of the colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration on the face of the platter is intact with no chips, cracks or colour loss.

The interior surface graduates from warm ivory at the centre through soft celadon toward the rim, creating a quiet ground for the applied decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo one side, a sculpted handle rises organically from the body in the form of a looping leaf blade — green at its base, softening to pale yellow-cream at the tip, with fine linear striation lending it structure and realism. Across the interior, an open lily bloom are applied in relief: white petals with a soft pink flush at the centre, accompanied by long, arching green leaves that sweep across the surface in a controlled, naturalistic composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the opposing rim, a fully three-dimensional butterfly perches as the focal point of the piece. Its wings are spread and slightly raised, painted in graduated tones of orange-peach and yellow with brown veining and white-spotted tips. A slender tail extends below the body, completing the sense of movement held in suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside is plain white porcelain. The base carries the underglaze blue Franz mark, the red seal stamp, design number XP1694, and the hand-applied signature of Jen Woo. The original Franz presentation box is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration.

Developed in the early twentieth century under the direction of Charles Noke, who spent years unlocking the reduction-firing secrets of Chinese oxblood glazes, Flambe required an entirely separate kiln process to achieve its characteristic depth of colour. Pieces were fired in a reducing atmosphere — starved of oxygen at critical temperature — which drove the copper in the glaze to produce the intense sang de boeuf red that defines the ware. The process is unpredictable by nature: each piece emerges from the kiln unique, and the factory could not guarantee an identical result twice. Flambe animal models, produced across several decades of the twentieth century, have become among the most consistently sought-after items in the Royal Doulton secondary market, combining the prestige of the Flambe technique with the accessibility of a small-scale decorative object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis resting duck model is modelled low to the ground with the body settled, head tucked and turned to one side, the tail feathers rendered as a small upturned curl. The form is simplified and entirely resolved — no detail is superfluous, and the modelling relies entirely on the quality of the glaze rather than surface ornamentation. The Flambe glaze across the entire figure is a deep, uniform oxblood red, darkening to near-black in the recesses of the wings and tail, with a high-gloss finish that gives the surface considerable visual depth. The unglazed foot rim shows natural kiln grit consistent with the period firing process. The base carries the printed Royal Doulton crown and circle mark in dark pigment with \"Made in England \/ Royal Doulton \/ England\" and \"FLAMBE\" below, confirming authentic factory production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition is excellent.

The Australian Design range belongs to this second category: a series of naturalistically modelled serving pieces in leaf and fruit forms, registered for the Australian market and produced in substantial numbers through the mid-twentieth century. The Redcurrant pattern, with its cream ground, modelled berry clusters and applied leaf forms in relief, is one of the more fully realised designs in the range — the knife included as an integral part of the set distinguishes it from the simpler dish-only pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dish is moulded in the form of a broad, lobed leaf with a serrated edge, the surface impressed with a fine vein network across the cream-glazed interior. To the upper portion of the dish a relief-modelled branch rises from a dark brown stem, carrying three overlapping leaves in two shades of green and a scattered cluster of round redcurrants in deep rose-red with black dot detailing. Further individual berries are distributed across the dish surface in the same treatment. The matching knife is flat and spatula-form, with a cream body, a small cluster of berries and a single lobed leaf modelled at the handle end in matching colours. The reverse of the dish is undecorated and shows the full Carlton Ware backstamp with Australian design registration notice and a hand-painted number 4 in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe glaze shows age-consistent crazing across the interior of the dish and on the reverse, which is characteristic of Carlton Ware from this period and does not affect structural integrity.

A red scarf is visible at the throat beneath the shawl. Her hair is covered with a dark headscarf, accented with a small floral detail at the crown. The second basket rests against a folded white cloth with blue stripe detail. The face is composed and downward-looking, attentive to the task at hand rather than the viewer.
