A matched pair of Royal Doulton English bone china figures from the company’s maritime ‘Sea Characters’ series, comprising ‘Sea Harvest’ and ‘All Aboard,’ both presented in a rich nautical palette of cobalt and slate blues with cream and ochre accents. ‘All Aboard’ depicts a bearded skipper in peaked cap calling out beside a harbor-side noticeboard lettered “Deep Sea Fishing Trips Depart 10 A.M.” and incorporating a painted clock dial; the figure stands on a cobbled quay base and features a green-blue parrot perched at the shoulder. ‘Sea Harvest’ portrays a fisherman crouched in action, hauling a textured net with heightened modeling to the face, hands, and drapery, and with subtle speckling and glaze modulation used to suggest weathered cloth. Both examples show the Royal Doulton lion-and-crown factory backstamp with printed titles and copyright dating (Sea Harvest: 1968; All Aboard: 1981), consistent with late-20th-century production. Together, the group offers strong narrative character modeling typical of Doulton’s postwar figurine program and makes a decorative addition to coastal or maritime-themed collections. Size: 6 x 3 x 9"
