Motoring Image with Mouse Driving a Car","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a very collectable early 1930s baby's plate or sturdy bowl. It is a more substantial one with a flared and weighted base. This would prevent the baby pushing the plate about - or indeed away! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an piece of antique British ceramics. And it is in pretty good condition for a nursery item nearly 100 years old. I think that it dates to around 1935 and has the early Shelley pottery mark on the base, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image on the center of the bowl is by Mabel Lucie Attwell. The decoration shows a cartoon mouse wearing a shiny black top hat. He is sitting in a little ochre coloured car with orange wheels. I love his little tail hanging out the back of the car. To the left, is a traffic policeman. He takes the form of a little fat mouse wearing a pale blue uniform. He signals for the car to stop.  In the distance are little houses with yellow and orange roofs. A tall green fir tree is to the left of the dwellings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is text in the top corner. This reads: Mr Mouse in Your Motie Car \/ I Hope It's Coming to Tea You Are.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-10\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #002981; background: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis early motoring image is a rare one to fine on a baby plate. And the size is also a harder one to source. This is reflected in my asking price and it looks good on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good antique condition. It has no chips or staining. There is little bits of rubbing to the image. This is not obvious on display and only noticeable on close up inspection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: The base of the bowl has a 8 inch diameter and rim at the top is 7 1\/4 inches. The height of the bowl is 1 1\/2 inches. It has a good bit of weight to it and is 1 kg in weight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will sent with Royal Mail Tracked delivery.
