The Reverand Mr. Stiggins was a character from the novel, The Pickwick Papers. This is one figure from a series of miniatures put out by Royal Doulton, all based upon characters from Charles Dickens\' novels. Designed by Leslie Harradine, this fellow is part of the original series of 16.
From Royal Doulton Guide: \"Miniature figurines of Charles Dickens characters were produced by Royal Doulton between 1922 and 1983 and during this time there have been variations in ceramic bodies, size and backstamps. In 1922 sixteen miniature bone china Dickens figures were introduced to the HN collection, based Leslie Harradine’s earlier stoneware models. In 1932 these were renumbered as miniatures M41-M56 and in 1939 the collection grew to eighteen figures as the Bumble M76 and Cap ‘n Cuttle M77 figures were introduced. These pre-ware figures carry the old ‘Doulton’ or ‘Doulton England’ earlier backstamp. The collection was briefly withdrawn in 1949 and then re-introduced in a slightly larger size with a deeper base and no identification numbers. The collection also grew to 24, as six more characters were introduced. The Royal Doulton ‘Lion and Crown’ bone china backstamp was used on all figures of this period. When the ‘bone china’ is blocked out of the backstamp, it means the figure was made of English Translucent China, which was first introduced in 1959. In 1968, saw the figures once again increasing in size when the clay body was changed from china to earthenware. All 24 figures were produced in earthenware and were withdrawn between 1981 and 1983. In 1994 Pascoe and Company commissioned a limited edition figure of Charles Dickens himself, making a final total of 25 figures in the collection.\"
