Master of the Manor teacup and saucer modeled by Shane Ridge and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in a 2003 limited edition of 1,500. The Master of the Manor is a young man or boy who is in training to one day become the Lord of the Manor and take over the family business. He is being well educated and trained by the Lord and other experts. However, there are still days when this young Master would rather play with his jousting knight on a galloping steed toy. The Bunnykins Country Manor Tea Set is based on characters from the household of a typical English country manor at the beginning of the twentieth century. Royal Doulton Bunnykins tableware and figurines are popular ceramic designs manufactured as nursery dishes and collectible figurines. It originated with artwork by Sister Mary Barbara Bailey, the daughter of Cuthbert Bailey, general manager of Doulton during the 1930s. Sister Mary Barbara provided illustrations to the designers of Royal Doulton. The cup is a castle turret.
