Inexpensive childrenÕs china was made in Britain throughout the 19th century as gifts for good behavior, christening presents, souvenirs, and rewards for excellence in school. It w as inexpensive because the pattern was transfer-printed on the pottery rather than hand-painted. Of the many hundreds or perhaps even thousands of patterns made, I have culled patterns that include animals. Animals on childrenÕs pottery both delight and instruct. For example, when you look at the first page youÕll see that ÒAÓ is the first letter of the alphabet and is represented by the word ÒApeÓ. Not only is the image amusing, but by extension, the child could be asked ÒWhat else begins with the letter ÒAÓ? What a lovely way to learn the ABCs! Show more
