Waiting for a Treat is a rare Royal Doulton prototype figurine modeled by William Harper during the 1980s. Depicting a fisherman patiently awaiting his catch, this piece was created as part of Royal Doulton's development process but was never approved for full production. As a result, it remains an exceptionally scarce example of Harper's work and offers a unique glimpse into Royal Doulton's design history. Its prototype status and limited availability make it of particular interest to collectors of Royal Doulton figurines and rare studio models.
