BEAUTIFUL scottish bagpiper Royal Doulton figurine ‘THEpiper’ HN3444 – FIGURE in mint condition and extremely rare!
This is a stunning piece ofart in the form of a Royal Doulton ceramic figure of a Scottish man playing thebagpipes.
His costume is beautifullydetailed in the authentic, traditional Scottish dress for a bagpiper. He wears a tartan kilt with a sporran, whitehose with red garter flash, a sgian dugh (black dagger) placed in the top of the hose andshowing only the hilt, ghillie brogues on his feet and a Glengarry hat with aclan badge on his head.
He is handmade and handdecorated, modelled by Peter A Gee and released in 1993. Please see the photo for details. According to the research we have done he isextremely hard to find, especially in such fantastic condition, as there wereonly 750 figures of this model produced worldwide.
‘The Piper’ stands 10” (25cm)high and weighs 381g. He really is inmint condition as far as the ceramics are concerned. His only fault is that the lead drone (the firstand highest of the three pipes) from his bagpipe is slightly bent. However, we do not think that this would bedifficult or expensive to fix, as the pipes are made of metal and aprofessional should be able to put the pipe back into position easily.
This striking figure of aScottish bagpiper in traditional dress would be a fantastic addition to acollection. And it would, of course, makean especially nice gift – you can imagine a piper being impressed with thislovely figure! Or for anybody who isinterested in piping or their Scottish ancestry.
It is very difficult tofind this particular model – we have only seen a few and all of them werepriced in excess of $500. However, we would like to give everyone achance of owning ‘The Piper’ and so are offering him for sale in a sale. We are sure that this rarefigure will attract a lot of interest, so don’t miss out!
HAPPY offerDING AND HAPPYEaster!
