Royal Crown Derby Dove of Peace Paperweight. The edition size r epresents the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month. Fittingly this Dove of Peace represents the end of the war. Incorporated in the design on the dove's chest there is a scroll with the words "Lest We Forget". On the bird's back is a sundial on which there are the numbers 11.11. This represents the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month of 1918 when peace was declared. The edition size of 1111 also marks this momentous day.

Underneath the tail there is a church bell which rang across the country celebrating the end of the war. Silhouetted on the bird's side are the soldiers, horses and dogs who so bravely fought.
