OTHER INFORMATION

This is one of the pieces that was to be released by Royal Doulton but they cancelled the range in typical Royal Doulton style (they never knew how to deal with a fantasy range)

RD sold the remaining stock and range to a company called Xystos and this is one of the ex RD pieces

Original artwork of Sapphire below was drawn by Rob Simpson and as such he owns the ©copyright to this art - used with kind permission
