Hannah, named after one of Johns granddaughters, is a beautiful figurine with long brunette hair falling gracefully around her face. The midnight blue gown has a strapless neckline and a full skirt that flounces to the ground over layers of petticoats. The swirling dress is decorated with a soft blue gauzy design of flowers and butterflies whilst subtle shading to the folds and creases of the skirt emphasize Hannahs graceful movement as she re-ties the bow to her sash. Using 24 carat gold Royal Doultons talented artists have delicately highlighted the petals of the flower and traced the neckline of Hannahs bodice, and added gleaming accents to her flamboyant sash.

John Bromley, a master ceramic sculptor, was an apprentice in the Royal Doulton modeling studios in the 1960s. During his long career he modelled countless beautiful figurines that are now cherished by collectors around the world. In 2013 John died. During his illness he received treatment and support at the world leading cancer hospital The Christie, in Manchester.

The Celebrating John Bromley Collection features four of Johns figurines redesigned in a new color way and named after a member of his close family. For every figurine sold, 5% of the net sales value will be donated to The Christie charity to support vital research into pancreatic cancer.

As evidenced by the name, Royal Doulton enjoys the distinction of a "Royal Warrant" -- a mark of distinction bestowed upon people or companies who have regularly supplied members of the Royal Family with goods or services. Royal Warrants, regarded as a mark of supreme excellence and quality, cannot be bought or sold.

King Edward awarded the first Royal Warrant to Royal Doulton in 1901. The Doulton Company then became The Royal Doulton Company. Presently, the Royal Doulton brand holds two Royal Warrants, the Royal Albert brand holds two Royal Warrants and the Minton brand holds one.
