Marks: Has the Royal Doulton mark on the base and is also marked "JULIA" under the mark.

Condition: The piece is in excellent condition with no breaks, cracks, or repairs. The piece has general crazing to the glaze, which is hard to see but is there suggesting that this is an earlier example of the figurine. It has some soiling on the foot where it would sit on a surface and residue of old labels on the bottom. Other than that, the piece is superb. Just a very colorful and beautiful piece.
