Collecting ‘themes’ is something we look at sporadically but often it is only on reflection that we – or should I say I – realise that we already have a sub-theme already in our collections. This was certainly the case with these Doulton ladies in riding costume!

I have to admit that I don’t have them displayed as a group, but that is simply because they have been gathered over time and they’ve ‘slotted’ in as and where I can! However, I did find that I had one of my favourites, the Hunts Lady, standing ironically next to a fox!

Perhaps I’ll find somewhere to have them as a group now, next time I move things around!
