How is a Royal Doulton figure made: There is far more to a lovely Doulton figure than meets the eye to transmute three simple elements - china clay, Cornish stone, and bone ash- into an entrancing Royal Doulton figure. First, from an illustration an artist makes a master model by hand. Then the plaster is poured into the cast, which forms the main section of "The Love Letter" mould. From the master model, many accurate moulds are made and filled with "slip", which is a china body in liquid form. The parts are extracted from the moulds and laid out ready for the trained assembler who builds up the figure before the material hardens. The initial firing or baking process follows this. The figure is then hand dipped into a vat of glaze, and after drying is re-fired to give the characteristic crystal sheen of Doulton figures. Finally an artist paints the figure with ceramic pigments so that after further firings to fix the colors, the beauty of the figure is revealed.
We also invite other Royal Doulton Figurines as well as the many other rare and interesting decorative items we offer from art to jewelry and watches, and please see our "Buy it NOW or Best Offer" auctions as well! We gladly combine auctions for reduced shipping.
