Annihilate the landfill, adopt a stern governess who never assigns homework
This is Royal Doulton's 'Schoolmarm' (HN2223), a beloved character figurine depicting a Victorian-era teacher at her desk, complete with globe, books, and a student's dunce cap waiting below.

She's in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs visible. A proper shelf presence for collectors or anyone who appreciates British ceramic artistry without the British price tag.
