Description

the trio
do note! the dish has a small chip on the rim. i didn't notice it until my finger stumbled onto it. at its longest, the chip is 3 1/2" mm long. there is some very very subtle discoloration to the base of the dish: you can only see it in very high light. see second image. these have only been displayed so i am unsure how the chip came to be.
so adorable. petter rabbit and mom. peter running from the farmer again. mom going to market doing her best little red riding hood, prepping the bunnies to go along too. the plate has a thick rim around it and a very low center of gravity (as does the cup)—great for kids. the cup has a round belly cup shape. the outer diameter of hefty the dish 6 1/2". its inside diameter is 5 1/2" the rim is 1 3/8" above the surface on which the plate rests. the bowl has a 5 3/4" diamater. the bowl's rim is 2" above the surface on which it rests. the cup has a 2 1/2" diameter. at its most rotund, the cup has a circumference of about 11". cup is 2 3/4" tall.
the plate tells a story and it is depicted in the drawing:
but round the end of a cucumber frame, whome should he meet but mr. mcgregor!
he jumped up and ran after peter, waving a rake and calling out, «stop thief!»
the bowl shows momma rabbit going to market and tells this story:
then old mrs. rabbit took a basket and her umbrella,
and went through the wood to the baker's.
she bought a loaf of brown bread.
the bulbous cup shows momma rabbit prepping the kids to accompany her to market:
there were four little rabbits
flopsy, mopsy, cotton-tail and peter.
cup reads
once upon a time there were four little rabbits, and their names were–flopsy, mopsy, cotton tail and peter.
now run along and don't get into mischief.

about etruria works
from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/etruria_works
the etruria works was a ceramics factory opened by josiah wedgwood in 1769 in a district of stoke-on-trent, staffordshire, england, which he named etruria. the factory ran for 180 years.
wedgwood had previously based his business in the nearby town of burslem at the ivy house works and the brick house works (demolished—the wedgwood institute is built on its site). in 1767 wedgwood paid about three thousand pounds for his new site, which was then known as the ridgehouse estate. it lay directly in the path of the trent and mersey canal of which wedgwood was a promoter. on one side of the canal wedgwood built a large house, etruria hall and on the other side a factory.
there is a description of etruria in the 1930s in jb priestley's
english journey
. by this time the site was affected by mining subsidence, and plans were drawn for a new factory at barlaston some miles south on the trent and mersey canal. the new factory was built in 1938–40 and most of the old factory was demolished in the twentieth century after the wedgwood company moved production to barlaston.

the fine print
the images are the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely.
shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price.
i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so.
trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically.
shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that
. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
