Hi my name is Glenda,
Thank you for choosing us for your Appraisal needs.

.

Can you tell me what number is XX the bottom of this, and is this the Royal Doulton Elfreda?

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

No # XX the bottom. not a royal doulton, and it is hand-made

Expert:  Glenda_B replied 12 months ago.

Hi Karen,

Do you mean some one made a copy of the Elfreda figurine by Doulton? Or someone made a ceramic figurine and named it Elfreda? If so can you send a picture of this, I know what they Royal Doulton one looks like but, without an image it would be very hard to value this one.

I sent this to customer service. I am not an employee of Just Answer, so we are not privy to their policies and procedures. But, I did forward it on.

Glenda

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

Please have customer service credit my Visa. Thanks.

Expert:  Glenda_B replied 12 months ago.

Karen,

I do not work for Just Answer, I cannot tell them to do that. I can send your question through to a customer service link to be closed which I did. You will need to log onto justanswer.com go to the help at the bottom of the page and get to customer service to have them do this.
