Abstract

I think I recognize these illustrations of La Fontaine, particularly TH and GA, but I cannot name the artist. The outer circular frame and dentils just inside them remain the same throughout the series. How many might the series include? Lebeuf and Milliet became owners of the faience works in Creil and Montereau in the mid 1800's. The seal on the back of each plate proclaims the gold medals won in 1834, 1839, and 1844.

Abstract

There is a sticky adhesive patch on the separate red bottom-piece to hold it onto the dashboard of a car or truck, and then one can slide the mug into this holder. The seller emphasizes that "This is an extremely collectible Mr Fables travel mug, and probably quite rare in its unused condition." See also the sets of gift certificates from Mr. Fables restaurants.

Abstract

A green spode transferware plate depicting the fable of "The Lion in Love". He is in the process of getting his claws trimmed so that he may marry the maiden. There are flowers surrounding them on the rim of the plate.

This lovely set combines busy central images with a uniform "leaf, grape, and vine" decoration around each plate's border. They choose well when they put FC on the cover of the box. My second prize goes to "The Crow Trying to Imitate an Eagle." In both of these, the open spaces make reading the plate's central image easier and more enjoyable.

Abstract The lively and beautifully colored picture spreads across the center of the plate onto its rim. Print outlines the illustration to the upper right. A floral branch circles the rest of the plate. The artist's moment here is the revenge moment: the stork gets back at the fox by offering food only he can reach. There are several small chips around the edges. The trademark seal on the back is joined by a lovely image from the fable world: two pots sailing on a river. The "Rd" of the trademark is...

Abstract

Bentley Chappell and Nancy Barshter at Aesthetic Antiques have a wide offering of fable materials. This was the least expensive. I am unsure of how we are to understand the side opposite the clear presentation of OR. The main side itself is puzzling. Is the oak bending over in the wind? If so, the bird further in the foreground seems unaffected, and the tree seems to be holding its own.
