Royal Doulton Figurine The Poacher Hn2043

Poacher (HN2043) was designed by Leslie Harradine and produced by Royal Doulton from 1940 to 1949. This distinctive 6.0" figurine depicts a rural poacher with his catch, celebrating a controversial but colorful aspect of British countryside life. The piece belongs to Royal Doulton's Rural Characters series. 

Leslie Harradine brought character and humanity to working-class figures. Poacher showcases his ability to portray rural life with dignity while acknowledging the realities of countryside survival. The figure's furtive pose and period costume make this piece appealing to collectors of rural characters, British social history, and countryside themes. 

This example is in mint condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration. All original finish intact. Period backstamp shows HN2043 marking consistent with late 1940s through 1950s production. The relatively short 10-year production run makes Poacher less common than many Royal Doulton rural characters. Leslie Harradine's post-war designs from his final working years command particular collector interest due to his legendary status.
