Royal Doulton Figurine 1st Day of Christmas HN5168

The 1st Day of Christmas (HN5168) was designed by Nada Pedley and produced by Royal Doulton from 2008–2010. Standing 6.75 inches (17.2 cm) tall, this petite figurine is part of the complete Twelve Days of Christmas series inspired by the traditional Victorian carol. The lady is portrayed joyfully caroling, holding a decorative songbook as she recites the verse: "A Partridge in a Pear Tree."

She wears a deep green dress adorned with rich red and white festive accents, complemented by a matching red fur-trimmed bonnet. The Victorian Christmas styling captures the holiday spirit with the refined elegance characteristic of Nada Pedley's work. Each lady in this series holds a songbook containing script and illustrations representing each festive line of the carol.

The extremely short production run — typically one to two years per piece — makes this series particularly desirable to collectors. The complete Twelve Days of Christmas collection was produced between 2008–2012, with each piece issued for only one or two years. The opening piece of the series, she sets the tone for the complete collection with her warm holiday palette. This scarcity, combined with the charming Victorian theme, creates strong demand among Royal Doulton collectors and Christmas enthusiasts.

Perfect for Christmas collectors, Twelve Days of Christmas series completists, or those seeking limited-production Royal Doulton petite figurines with festive Victorian charm. Fully insured shipping across Canada with tracking. Comes in her original box and certificate of authenticity.
