Bunnykins Plate with a Pipe

[mikethompson]

Hidden in my cupboard the whole time, I just noticed the pipe this morning.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I love it!

Hmm, I've heard of angry birds, but angry rabbits? Is it going to be your new tobacco preparing plate?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

They do look rather angry. The one rabbit is cruelly spraying down the mouse. ::

 

[crashthegrey]

Ha, it is great but definitely odd how angry those rabbits are.

 

[mikethompson]

Honestly it is just how the eyes are drawn. All the plates and cups we have of that pattern have the same style.

 

[scloyd]

Probably angry because Cosmic chased them out of his crop.

 

[dottiewarden]

At the time of those drawings, a pipe symbolized a mature male. In fact it is a dignified.

 

[kcghost]

And you have a full set of this pattern?? Amazing.

 

[verporchting]

Can't speak for the rabbits, but if anyone called me "Bunnykins" I probably looked pissed too.

 

[crashthegrey]

All the plates and cups we have of that pattern have the same style.

I am incredibly jealous now.

 

[mikethompson]

To clarify, I mean all the rabbits are drawn in the same style, each cup and p!stems a different pattern. So there is only one pipe plate, but they all look angry.
As for using it as my tobacco prep plate, maybe in a few years!

Tea cups?

Fabulous!
But- think of the children! You'll have to cover the pipe with a decal if a child is ever to see the plate. Otherwise, they will think their pet rabbits should be given a pipe.

 

[mikethompson]

Tea cups?

No, the plates, bowls, and cups are all designed for kids. We've got a mix and match of a bunch of different sets.

I can't imagine they would even be allowed to sell this now with a pipe on it.

 

[jpmcwjr]

And, Mike, I fear you are right about that.
Who's the maker?

 

[bnichols23]

Mike, I'm betting you're correct.
Somehow it just don't look right.

 

[mikethompson]

Yes something looks off there Bill!
Bunnykins has been around for a long time. I think they are made in England. Made by Royal Daulton.
