Nursery Rhymes F was introduced in 1906 as a series of rack plates with twelve characters designed by J. Ogden. Here we have a superb plate of a boy dressed as Old King Cole with his dog sitting attentively at his feet. Printed in sepia with washed colours and a stylised art nouveau border. In great condition, with fine crazing typical of these wares, but no chips, cracks or restoration. A rare item which displays beautifully. Monogram 'JO' to the front. Printed Royal Doulton mark, painted series reference D2922 and indistinct impressed date. Diameter 26.75cm (10.5in)

Baby Bunting plate. This plate features a very bold illustration of Baby Bunting’s father off to catch a rabbit and the baby in the background with the rabbit. There is a small facsimile signature for J Ogden near father’s boot. The series ware number is D2539 and there are initials written under the number which appear to be DL. The series was introduced in 1906 and withdrawn by 1930. This plate is from the Series Ware F on page 90-91 of Louise Irvine’ Series ware Book 5.
