    Description

    Up for your collecting pleasure is this vintage ceramic candy dish / compote. 3 whimsical little bunny rabbits eating carror holding up a large cabbage leaf. Delightful, appealing to the fanticy of our childhood. You might say Peter Rabbit might have inspired this piece. What a wonderful center pice for a party or just fill it with candies and place it strategically for the grandkids to find on their next visit. ;)
    Background: This piece came out of an estate. I'm not sure of it's exact age, but from the bubbles in the glaze (I forget what that's called), this piece was fired in a wood kiln/oven. It's my guess that is was made some time between 1930's to 1960's. The number 245 is scratched in the bottom before firing. The other marking are newer.
    I'm not sure who the maker is.
    There is noticable crazing in the glaze. Please see the pictures. I have pinted out one of the firing bubbles I saw while inspecting this item. I didn't notice any chips, cracks or repairs.
    Over-all height 5.5". The dish is 8" x 9". The bunnies measure approx 3.5" in height.
