This is a very charming and cute Bunnykins Bowl from Royal Doulton.
This heavy baby bowl features a teacher bunny trying in vain to teach a math class ... while most of the naughty bunnies are making and tossing paper airplanes. It is very heavy and solid so as to be sturdy and balanced and discourage baby from knocking over or breaking.
The bottom reads "Bunnykins Royal Doulton, Bone China, © 1936". It is Dishwasher and Microwave Safe and Chip Resistant.
My small research has led me to believe that this dish is a re-issue of an original 1936 Bunnykins design. The back stamp does not indicate the place of origin. Royal Doulton was, until very recently, manufactured in England, however, in 2005 they moved their manufacturing to Asia. Because the back stamp does not contain "Made in England", coupled with "Microwave Safe", I believe this to be a modern piece, post 2005. While I find it desperately disappointing that many English china manufacturers have moved their production out of England; this dish does still appear to be of extremely good quality.
Size is approximately 6 1/4 inches round.
It is in excellent condition and appears to never have been used. No chips, cracks or signs of wear anywhere to the graphic.
