{"product_id":"royal-doulton-figurine-santas-world-travels-hn5598","title":"Royal Doulton Figurine Santa's World Travels HN5598","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSanta's World Travels (HN5598) was designed by Diane Kolar and issued in 2012 as part of Royal Doulton's Holiday Traditions Collection, in a worldwide limited edition of 3,500 hand-numbered pieces. Standing approximately 6.25 inches tall, it is a figure group rather than a single standing portrait — a substantially more complex and expensive undertaking in both modelling and decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe composition is generously detailed: Santa seated in his chair, holding a globe as he plans his route, accompanied by an elf at his side, a Christmas tree and wrapped presents completing the scene. It is the kind of multi-element festive tableau that only a limited edition brief allows, and Kolar brought to it the same hand-painted quality and colour depth that define Doulton's best seasonal work. The globe motif — the \"world travels\" of the title — gives the piece a storytelling dimension that distinguishes it from the more conventional standing Santa portrait, and the warm, richly detailed palette reads beautifully under any light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAs a single-year limited edition of 3,500, the production is closed and the market is finite. This example retains its original box and certificate of authenticity — the complete presentation that serious collectors and gift buyers both seek, and which adds meaningfully to the appeal and resale value of any limited edition piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Cross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41548041322629,"sku":null,"price":199.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/4050\/3941\/files\/batch_IMG_7987.jpg?v=1773445329","url":"https:\/\/william-cross.com\/products\/royal-doulton-figurine-santas-world-travels-hn5598","provider":"William Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
