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.
