Description

Vintage 1st edition Royal Crown Derby English Bone China porcelain seal figurine / paperweight, painting in rust, gold and cobalt with imari inspired designs, marked with gold stopper.

SEAL
Introducted in 1983 and withdrawn in 1987 this is one of the least attractive of the paperweights. It represents the infant sea mammal but its normally pure white coat is enriched with a Japan interpretation of ""flowers of peace"".

This collection of RCD paperweights was first introduced in 1981, and are one of the most collected ceramic gift wares. With a stopper in the base these hollow animal figures can be filled with sand to add enough weight to use as paperweights or they can be left empty and displayed as ornaments.
