The Oyster and the Rat Plate, 1890
Item — Box: CFC Tableware Box 4
Identifier: CFC2019.0154.1
Abstract
This plate seems to be in a set with the similar presentation of TT which I acquired at the same time. There is a chip at about 12 o'clock along the scalloped edge of this lovely plate. The design shows the moment just before the rat will find the oyster clamping down around his head. The design spills over nicely into the ridge connecting the center of this plate with its rim.

The Talkative Tortoise Plate, 1890
Item — Box: CFC Tableware Box 4
Identifier: CFC2019.0154.2
Abstract
There are no chips in this substantial plate. The design, showing the moment just before lift-off, is repeated elsewhere in Brown-Westhead, Moore and Company productions. The design spills over nicely into the ridge connecting the center of this plate with its rim. The specific color here seems to me to be a combination of gray, brown, and black.
