A rare Doulton & Co figure 'The Mask' HN733, c.1926, the pierette type figure wearing black and white garments, green printed mark, black enamelled inscription "The Mask potted by Doulton & Co HN733", impressed date code 1-26, height 16.9cm, faults
Estimate £300-500

Fine crazing to the glaze all over, the figures left arm has been broken off at the top of the arm across the wrist and messily re-glued, looks like a reasonably clean break but as there is so much glue around the area we cannot be sure if there are any splinter losses, some very slight scuffing to the black enamel around the edge of the foot and the tree stump behind the figure, there is also a small shallow chip to the bottom edge of the hem of her jacket which shows as a white area where there would be a black area, otherwise no other restoration, chips or cracks.
