I must have pie on the brain. When looking round the house to pick something for this week's Vintage Thingie my eyes fell on this mug, which I think was my mother's when she was young.
Let's face it, I'm a sucker for any china with words on it, and nursery rhymes are even more appealing to me. I have the Oxford Book of Nursery Rhymes, and I wrote my final year thesis on children's singing games. And then there's the Christmas theme ... well don't get me started on Christmas this early ...
I think it is the only piece of china I have which is marked as made in Australia, this one was made in Melbourne.
awww those are cute! When I was little (in the 70's) I had a cereal bowl with little miss muffet in it :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm a sucker for china with writing on it too, and I'm a huge fan of nursery rhymes. What a sweet little mug!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely little mug!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cup! Hard to believe that kids used to have such fragile everyday ware. I love nursery rhymes and such, too, and have started a vintage book collection, woohoo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cup!!
ReplyDeleteI always loved children's ware!

What a great mug; it seems to be in pristine condition, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special heirloom from your mother.
ReplyDeleteI have a saucer marked Playtime by the English Johnson I think. We found it under the house.
