Royal Doulton "Chinese Jade" Cockatoo

A rare Royal Doulton "Chinese Jade"  figure of cockatoos c1920. Charles Noke was the pioneer of Doulton's decorative glazes in the early 20th century and he was particularly inspired by the monochrome glazes of early Chinese ceramics. The "Chinese Jade" was the most difficult of his creations, attempting to mimic the colour of the stone. It proved too difficult to manufacture and so had a very limited production run. Marked with the Noke signature, Harry Nixon monogram, Chinese Jade script and Doulton England mark. In perfect condition.
