About Bunnykins<\/p>\n
Bunnykins began in 1934 with Barbara Vernon\u2019s rabbit drawings for Royal Doulton nurseryware. Figurines followed in 1939 and were revived in 1972. Their characterful costumes and varied themes later established an adult collecting following, with Australia becoming an important market. Captain Cook brings a nautical subject to that tradition.<\/p>\n
