The character is modelled wearing a white toque and tunic with a blue neckerchief, standing upon a textured brown circular base designed to resemble cobblestones. He is shown in a dynamic pose holding a glazed bowl and wooden spoon. The piece was modelled by Robert Simpson and produced by John Beswick, a brand under Royal Doulton. This example is accompanied by its original green presentation box featuring the white script John Beswick signature, and a matching numbered certificate of authenticity. The printed certificate states the piece is from a limited edition of two thousand five hundred, identified as model number TR9 and this specific item as No. 0367. The certificate bears the printed signature of Wayne Nutbeen, Chief Executive of Royal Doulton PLC, and copyright marks for 2001 Gordon Murray (Trumptonshire) Ltd and Royal Doulton.
