Advantages: lovely birth present

Disadvantages: none

Don't you just love Bunnykin's nursery ware all those plates and bowls made by Royal Doulton. One I have seen baby use is the baby plate, it was a china plate but a melamine one is also produced.

*Shape.
Now this Bunnykins baby plate is a better shape for baby really than the flat plate or even the cereal/pudding type bowl. It has a flat stable base and straight sides /edges. There is a lip at the top of the straight sides this makes the bowl easier for mummy/daddy/nanny to grip while feeding baby. Personally I prefer the standard flat plate, or the other shape of bowl, Albion I believe its called, the pudding shaped bowl.
This baby plate does look babyish I think the other shapes would be more acceptable to a 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 year old who thinks they are grown up .

*Pictures
There are several different scenes that are found on bunnykins baby plates . Royal Doulton rotates the use of the transfers.
A Nun, Sister Mary Barbara drew the designs for her father the manager of Royal Doulton's pottery in Stoke-on-Trent. Bunnykins pictures on nursery ware have been delighting children for 75 years now.

Along the top rim of this baby plate run a row of bunnies with a few tufts s of green grass the straight sides are plain white no design but at the bottom of the plate there is one of the designs this could be the kite one or , maybe the bunnykins fishing or the one where they are rafting . The bunnies are al doing human activities and are dressed in clothes.
The pictures are good encourage baby to eat his/her dinner and lots to talk about and look for in the pictures

*Size
This bunnykins baby plate is 16 cm diameter a good size for baby's cereal or dinner.


* Purchase
You can buy Bunnykins baby plate at several places sometimes it is part of a set
At http://www.chinaetc.co.uk one cost £15 at http://www.kingsandqueens.org.uk its £10


*Durability.
Well the one I am describing and thinking about is made of bone china , so bone china and babies well do babies throw things from their high chair onto the floor ? Yes of course they do. Does bone china break on contact with said floor? Yes it does. So it is best for use only with adult feeding baby.

The durability of this design of plate is long lasting I think even though Royal Doulton went into receivership this January.
This delightful series of pictures will be around on the base of a baby plate which is also a good design for many, many more years.
