looks great on the wall

There is one carved out side at the bottom

handles hanging down

And even better than it have a pinkish-peachy stripe all the way down its back

and look of old pearlware in general

Emma Dilmore's Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Bird on Branch early english motto dish looks great on the wallOne more marvelous bird from a young Emma Dilmore, this one a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year watercolor to her Aunt (Nonnie?), early 1890s based on others in the batch. I'm not quite sure what breed of bird with this fantastic rainbow of tail feathers, but just my sort! With a pale pink watercolor bottom border with yellow stripe a separate piece of paper adhered as trim to the larger one. Clearly some loss across the top and a rough right edge,
