This is a very collectable early 1930s Shelley Pottery Baby's Plate.
I have four of these - of matching size - but with different decoration listed on my website, as photographed.
It 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 back,
The image on the center of the wee plate is by Mabel Lucie Attwell. The decoration shows a little figure coming out of an old fashioned horse-drawn caravan. The caravan is very colourful with a red roof and green sides. The image is a happy rustic scene enlivended by lots of little countryside animals - rabbits, birds and a tortoise. A little green boo-boo is dancing with the rabbits - and another brown fairy figure is seen to the left hand side.
There is text in the top corner. This reads: There was a Little Man / Lived in a Caravan / His Friends were the Bunnies / And other such Funnies.
These early Shelly Nursery Plates are very collectable, and this one is in excellent condition. This is reflected in my asking price - it looks good on display.
