Royal Doulton Colorway Bone China Figurine, Jack Point:
Royal Doulton bone china figurine titled Jack Point HN2080, hand-painted in a vivid colorway of green, maroon, and dark cyan, accented with yellow. The character is portrayed as a court jester, standing with a contemplative gesture, his hand to his chin, dressed in a traditional jester costume with a cape and cap adorned with yellow ball-tipped points. The outfit is highly detailed with heraldic and theatrical motifs, including a lion and fleur-de-lis across the tunic. He stands beside a cream-colored pedestal base with one foot forward, emphasizing the dramatic pose. The reverse shows additional props: a white instrument slung over the back and a brown bag. This figure is a later interpretation by Royal Doulton inspired by the original Jack Point HN85, first modeled by Charles J. Noke, Doulton’s pioneering Art Director. The design references the jester character from Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1888 opera The Yeoman of the Guard. In the narrative, Jack Point is a heartbroken, itinerant jester whose tragic arc ends with his collapse following romantic rejection. This specific rendition, HN2080, reflects the dramatic storytelling and historical depth that define Noke’s theatrical figures. The base bears the Royal Doulton backstamp with the lion and crown motif, marked “Made in England, Royal Doulton, England, Bone China.” The dimensions are approximate.
