Title: Royal Doulton Marrietta
Post by: suporghy on April 28, 2009, 12:50:19 PM

Hi there,

well my grandmother recently past away and she has left me this fiqurine. All iknow is that it is an original, in mint condition and is a very different style.

I basially just want to know how much you guys think it is worth? my dads insured it for like 2,000 but we're not sure.

All the websiteI have lloked at have been from 2,500$ to as little as a couple of hundred. Im so confused right now Sad


thankyou Smile



Royal Doulton figurine, Marietta HN1341, designed by Leslie Harradine. Issued 1929-1940. Size: 8''H.

Color: Red and black

Marietta was the heroine in the comic opera, Die Fledermaus. Much of the opera is set at a masked ball, which explains why she is seen wearing the stylish bat costume.

- only info i know.
