The underside is printed with a black backstamp identifying the maker, figure name, and modeller, Nada M. Pedley, including a hand-painted green mark.

The third figurine is Belle (HN 3703), the Figure of the Year for 1996. The figure is wearing a layered yellow and burgundy gown with floral-styled overlays and holds a closed fan. The underside is printed with a black backstamp identifying the maker, figure name, and modeller, Valerie Annand, accompanied by hand-painted initials ME in green and a further yellow mark.

The items are accompanied by three original dark blue Royal Doulton The Gift of Imagination presentation boxes and two printed certificates of authenticity for the Deborah and Belle figurines.
