Standing 7 inches (18 cm) tall, this charming character figure is part of the beloved Golden Years series — a collection celebrating the warmth and nostalgia of everyday English life in a bygone era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figurine depicts an elderly shopkeeper behind her counter, dispensing a penny's worth of toffee sweets into a paper cone — a scene instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up with the tradition of the old-fashioned corner sweet shop. She is hand-painted in a soft palette of pale blue, yellow, and white, with the meticulous detail and fine bone china quality that define Royal Doulton's character work at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Golden Years series captures a world of unhurried English domesticity that has largely disappeared, giving these figures a nostalgic resonance that grows stronger with time. With a production run of just four years, A Penny's Worth was never widely distributed, and complete, undamaged examples in original condition are increasingly difficult to find. This scarcity, combined with the universal appeal of the subject matter, keeps collector demand consistently strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA perfect addition to any Golden Years collection, or a charming standalone piece for anyone who appreciates finely crafted Royal Doulton character studies. Fully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Cross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41544886354053,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/4050\/3941\/files\/IMG_8069.heic?v=1773255217","url":"https:\/\/william-cross.com\/products\/royal-doulton-figurine-a-pennys-worth-hn2408","provider":"William Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
