Grotesque Birds Ltd Edition Ruby Fusion Phoenix


As a child Robert was always interested in painting and drawing and loved to play with plasticine. Robert Tabbenor always wanted an artistic career and although he is a native of Stoke-on-Trent, before joining Royal Doulton he had no experience in the pottery industry. The idea of sculpture fascinated him and under the guidance of Eric Griffiths his talent flourished. His first figure was introduced in 1982. He had modelled several character figures as Royal Doulton International Collectors Club exclusives, as well as child studies and several Images figures. He has also worked with Moorcroft on figures.
