Budge - one of a range of fine bone china candle snuffers reproduced in 1976 by Royal Worcester. Based on highly prized originals made 1880 by James Hartley.
The character Budge comes from a book called 'Helen's babies' from 1876. Budge is one of the children and ends up dressed in his Uncle's clothes while his Mother is away. Hence the huge frock coat.......
Beautifully hand~painted and signed. He is not our usual style; but he said he was for us and who could argue. Lovely little mantlepiece item. Perfect vintage condition so a very nice gift.
Dimensions 110mm high
