Royal Crown Derby Goldfinch Nesting Paperweight Figurine With Silver Stopper

Description

On auction, we have a vintage Goldfinch Nesting by Royal Crown Derby. He has feathers highlighted in 22 karat gold and sits on an imari nest. The bottom has a silver stopper stamped "Royal Crown Derby English Bone China"
. This has the Royal Crown Derby maker's mark, "Goldfinch Nesting", "(copyright) 1996 Royal Crown Derby", "LX" (1997), "Y", "A" and "T". The purpose of the stopper is to fill this with sand and make your figurine into a paperweight. Our goldfinch measures approximately 2 3/4" tall, 2 3/8" wide, 3 1/2" long and he weighs 3.7 ounces.
This goldfinch is in excellent condition. I can find no flaws. Please view my photographs for more description. Hopefully, you will forgive the glare from the shiny glaze.
My friend's Mom is moving into a much smaller home and parting with some of her collections. You may enjoy viewing her other Royal Crown Derby paperweights I have on separate auctions at this time.
I will be happy to answer any questions, send more photos and, of course, combine your shipping.
