This is a charming example of a bone china christening plate from the ‘Bunnykins’ range produced by Royal Doulton and dating to the 1980s.
The plate has a broad, flattened rim that steps down into a central lower portion.
It is glazed in a pale cream-yellow shade, over which has been transfer-printed a band of leaping bunnies around the rim. In the centre is an image depicting a family of bunnies attending a christening. This image is encircled by the words ‘BUNNYKINS CELEBRATE YOUR CHRISTENING’ and a flower garland.
The underside is marked in the centre with the Royal Doulton logo being carried by a group of rabbits. Below this are the words ‘ENGLISH FINE BONE CHINA “BUNNYKINS” ® © 1936 ROYAL DOULTON’.
In addition, the plate comes in the original box, although this is worn around the edges and has some marks on the cardboard.
The plate has a diameter of approximately 20.6cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 300g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although as previously mentioned the box is worn.
