Cherished Friendship’s stunning dress in tones of dusky lilac is complemented by her pretty bouquet of a dozen exquisite handmade and hand painted irises, a gift from a dear friend. Bearing the meaning of friendship, the sentiment of the iris flower perfectly expresses how the wise words, deep-rooted affection and faith of a soul mate are loved and respected. Designed with an eye for detail, Cherished Friendship’s dress includes a silky ribbon trim to each layer of the skirt, a stylish crossover bodice, an off-the-shoulder neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. Her strawberry blonde hair is swept back into an elegant chignon and sparkling platinum jewellery completes her chic look. The Language of Flowers Collection is inspired by the centuries old custom of sending messages based on the symbolic meaning of different flowers, such as red roses for romantic love and lilies of the valley for happiness. The practice was particularly popular in Victorian times when men and women used gifts of fragrant flowers to express emotions and passions that could never be uttered aloud. Royal Doulton’s talented designer, Neil Faulkner, has combined the sentiments and the vibrant colours of flowers to create a collection of elegant and beautiful figurines.
