This figurine depicts a scene with Mr. Jeremy Fisher the frog, from Beatrix Potter's classic collection of children's books. Mr. Jeremy Fisher goes fishing for minnows on his lily-leaf fishing boat, wearing his bright blue mackintosh and goloshes to keep his feet dry. As he is not a very successful fisherman, he spends a lot of his time sitting cross-legged on his boat, eating butterfly sandwiches or, in this case, reading a book. The figurine brings the delightful character to life and is a valuable part of the Beatrix Potter collection. It is also an excellent ornament for a child's nursery.
Border Fine Arts has been producing The World of Beatrix Potter resin figurines since 1987 and over the years, it has developed an impressive range of collectible items that appeal to Beatrix Potter patrons of all ages and from all walks of life. They also produce a fabulous range of earthenware figurines in the Beatrix Potter Classics collection. More mature customers may well appreciate the value of these classic collections, but the characterful, handcrafted and hand painted figurines also make a wonderful gift for children of any generation.
