Abstract

This is a large, heavy, and even formidable platter! I am baffled about which fable is presented here. Shirley dates this and the smaller platter above to 1858-82. There are chip repairs at both "carrying" ends.

Abstract

This large cake-plate features characters from all five smaller plates. These include FC, GA, MM, WC, and "The Lion and the Mosquito."

Abstract

The central picture shows the dog with a chop in his mouth viewing a dog in the water with a chop in his mouth. The statement is archaic English: "Ye Dog and Ye Shadow." Symbols on the back include the manufacturer's "R" sign, a semicircular word around a "B," and an impressed symbol hard for me to read.

Abstract

This is a heavy platter. There is a shallow plate in front of the protagonists and narrow vases in the background. Shirley dates this and the larger platter below to 1858-82. There are chip repairs at the right-hand "carrying" end. The "Moore" portion of the indented name is indistinct.

Abstract

This plate is marked by its open dentelles around the outer rim, with an arched opening in each dentelle. Inside at the center is a recognizable image of DS. It is exactly the image that appears on Minton tiles of the same period, whether they are brown or blue. The choice of a moment to depict is good because the dog has just lost his piece of meat, and it has not yet entered the water to be lost forever.
