This Royal Doulton Bunnykins child's plate, in English fine bone china, features the beloved Letterbox scene — bunnies at the post, the everyday made enchanting.

Equally at home as a child's everyday plate, a nursery wall display, or a collectible on its own — a beautiful baby shower or christening gift, a sweet addition to a Royal Doulton collection, or simply a piece of English ceramic history that happens to feature rabbits.
Bunnykins began in 1934 with drawings by Sister Mary Barbara Bailey — a nun whose illustrations of rabbits in domestic scenes caught the eye of Royal Doulton and became one of the most enduring children's tableware lines in the world. This plate features the Letterbox scene, designed by Barbara Vernon and Walter Hayward in 1952. The backstamp on the reverse carries the Royal Doulton Bunnykins mark used between 1976 and 1987, which helps date this piece precisely.
