Investment Potential

The Burslem Artwares series was created to pay homage to the most difficult and artistic techniques in Royal Doulton’s history. Because only 250 of these monkeys were ever made, they rarely appear on the secondary market. The Suzhou Monkey is particularly coveted for its substantial size and the way the Flambé glaze pools in the intricate details of the sculpture, creating a unique fire-like glow.

Complete with its limited edition numbering on the base, this is a true "anchor piece" for a world-class Royal Doulton collection.
