    Child's Toy Red Transferware Plate
    HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE
    Whittaker & Co Staffordshire England  1888
    This is a wonderful child's transferware toy plate, circa 1888. Originally part of a complete miniature children's tea set, the plate measures 5 inches in diameter. The transfer is a rich country red. The plate depicts the characters in the much beloved child's nursery rhyme:
    HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE
    THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
    THE COW JUMPED OVER
    THE MOON
    THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED
    TO SEE SUCH CRAFT
    AND THE DISH RAN AWAY
    WITH THE SPOON
    The plate was made in Hanley in the Staffordshire region of England by Whitaker and Co. as part of its Nursery Rhymes series. The maker's mark on the underside bears the registration number 103739, indicating the year 1888.
    The plate is in very good condition, with no chips cracks or repairs. Stilt marks and transfer imperfections, original to the making, as shown. Light crazing original to the making and consistent with the age of the piece. The plate is well potted and the transfer is richly detailed. This great little plate is a joy to behold! Sold as is.
    Nursery rhyme tea sets from this era are hard to find and quite desirable. The influence of the Aesthetic Movement is evident in the design. The piece will make a fabulous addition to your collection of children's dishes or Aesthetic transferware. It is being sold without a reserve.
