Royal Doulton "Centenary" Blue Flambé Penguin – Rare Limited Edition

We are thrilled to offer this exquisite Royal Doulton Blue Flambé Penguin, released specifically to commemorate the Centenary of Flambé (1904–2004). While Royal Doulton is world-renowned for its crimson "Sang de Boeuf" glazes, the Blue Flambé remains one of the most elusive and sought-after variations ever produced by the Burslem studio.

Why the Blue Flambé Penguin is a "Must-Have"

The Blue Flambé technique is notoriously difficult to achieve in the kiln, requiring precise temperature control to get that deep, "electric" cobalt hue. This Penguin features a beautiful contrast between the deep blue back and the snowy white breast, making it a standout display piece.

Bearing the special Centenary backstamp on the base, this figurine was produced in a limited run to celebrate a century of Doulton's secret glaze formulas. For the collector who already has the traditional reds, this blue variant is the ultimate "missing piece" to complete a Flambé display.
