    once upon a time
    there were four
    little rabbits, and
    their names were--
    flopsy, mopsy
    cotton tail, and peter
    now run along and don't get into mischief
    bowl
    mama preparing her daughters to go off to market. she also closes peter's jacket so that he can be warm.around the perimeter, depicts non-anthropormorphic bunnies (cute as all get out), lettuce leaves, and apples. the center shows peter in a garden ready to use a shovel to dig up and harvest the lettuce.
    reads
    a is for apple
    b is for blackberries
    c is for cabbage
    plates are identical
    they both depict peter squeezing under a red picket fence heading for the forbidden garden. one one side of the periphery, peter gleefully munching on one carrot, while holding another carrot in waiting in the other hand. the other side depcits peter with his sweater almost appearing like a smoking jacket.
    reads
    peter ran straight away to mrs. mcgregor's garden and squeezed under the gate!
    he ate some lettuces and some french beans; and then he ate some radishes.

    about etruria works/wedgewood
    from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/etruria_works
    the etruria works was a ceramics factory opened by josiah wedgwood in 1769 in a district of stoke-on-trent, staffordshire, england, which he named etruria. the factory ran for 180 years.
    wedgwood had previously based his business in the nearby town of burslem at the ivy house works and the brick house works (demolished—the wedgwood institute is built on its site). in 1767 wedgwood paid about three thousand pounds for his new site, which was then known as the ridgehouse estate. it lay directly in the path of the trent and mersey canal of which wedgwood was a promoter. on one side of the canal wedgwood built a large house, etruria hall and on the other side a factory.
    there is a description of etruria in the 1930s in jb priestley's
    english journey
    . by this time the site was affected by mining subsidence, and plans were drawn for a new factory at barlaston some miles south on the trent and mersey canal. the new factory was built in 1938–40 and most of the old factory was demolished in the twentieth century after the wedgwood company moved production to barlaston.

    the fine print
    the images are the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely.
    shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price.
    i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so.
    trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically.
    shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that
    . i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
