Royal Crown Derby Beaver Paperweight

$145.00

What instantly draws you to this little chap are the colours - the vibrant red, the rich navy blue, the generous gold highlights — all against the crispness of fine white bone china. He’s a good one too, with his gold button on the base indicating the best of Royal Crown Derby quality. He even has his original box.

There’s a reason these are incredibly collectible. They have all the elements that make Royal Crown Derby paperweights a joy to the eye - characterful subjects, beautiful colours and superb craftsmanship.

I had planned to stay away from the more ‘traditional’ collectable items but there was something about this beaver I couldn’t pass up. I wasn’t wrong either - my twelve-year-old son instantly loved him, calling this his favourite of all my finds. It makes me wonder whether this beaver might spark a child’s collecting interest. With a range of over 450 different animals, there are certainly many more of these treasures to discover.

    Made from fine bone china, this beaver is stamped Royal Crown Derby on both the china and the attached gold button. He also comes with his original box, although there is no other internal packaging.

  • The overall condition of this beaver is excellent.

    I had to look very closely to find tiny scratches in the paint - one in the gold near the nose and two in the blue on the neck. They are nearly unnoticeable and only visible on close inspection.

  • This chap deserves to be on display somewhere his colours can sing and his white can really pop.

    I love him surrounded by items that help his colours shine even more - blues, reds, even a bold green.

    He would also look wonderful as part of a small collection. I can easily see him in a child’s bedroom with a few other animal friends. They’re fun and so much more charming than the modern soft-toy obsessions kids have today - a thought for mums and dads!
