R John Wright – Jemima’s Ducklings – Limited Edition – 2001

A delightful R. John Wright Jemima’s Ducklings limited edition set from the Beatrix Potter Collection, released in 2001. The set comprises four ducklings and one felt egg, presented with the original box and certificate of authenticity. This example is numbered 0231 / 1000.

Each duckling measures approximately 5 inches tall and is beautifully made in mohair and felt, with moveable wings, glass eyes and carefully modelled felt feet and beaks. The set captures the charm and softness associated with Beatrix Potter’s illustrations while also displaying the meticulous hand-finished quality for which R. John Wright is known.

John Wright pieces are highly regarded among modern character doll and artist-made soft toy collectors. Their Beatrix Potter Collection is particularly sought after because it combines literary appeal, limited-edition production, high-quality materials and strong display presence. This is a complete and attractive set, retaining its box and certificate.

Condition

Very good condition overall. The ducklings are clean, bright and well presented, with only light signs of age or handling. The mohair remains attractive, the felt feet and beaks are in good order, and the moveable wings appear present and functional. The felt egg is also present. The original box and certificate are included; the box shows light storage wear consistent with age. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
