Flying Pheasants!
When I changed my blog header a lot of people commented on the china displayed on it, so I thought I'd give it a post of its own.
Its called "The Coppice" and its by Royal Doulton. Ssh … it’s a coffee set - don't tell anyone! I think this pattern was produced from 1937 till the 60s, does anyone know anything else about it?
There are lovely images of pheasants in flight. Now as anyone who has gone for a drive in the country at certain times of the year knows - pheasants are not the most intelligent birds, but they are lovely to look at.
The other side of the little cup has a lovely tree branch painted on it.
It’s an unusual set.
These, plus another couple of cups, saucers and plates were destined for the bin till someone remembered that I "liked that sort of thing" and asked me if I wanted it! What could I say? So, dear reader, it came to live with me.
Reminds me of another little ditty - is it poetry week or something?? You know, the one about the person who removes the feathers from pheasants, the pheasant plucker. This is so childish, I know, but say it really fast a couple of times over! (tee hee).
