For generations, Royal Doulton’s Bunnykins characters have delighted collectors with their detailed costumes, expressive faces and charming glimpses of everyday life.

Busy Needles DB10 depicts Mrs Bunnykins quietly working on her knitting. She wears a white dress decorated with green flowers and holds a maroon knitted piece, with her ball of wool resting beside her and a bright blue footstool positioned behind her.

Designed by Walter Hayward and modelled by Albert Hallam, Busy Needles was introduced during the early years of the numbered Bunnykins figurine collection and was issued from approximately 1973 until 1988. At just over 8 cm tall, it is an appealing early, low-numbered Bunnykins character and a lovely addition to an established collection.
