Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies fancy dress Just right I think in

Just right I think in this old lemon gold frame

first produced in Germany in the 1860s-- and as someone who believes little pick me ups are essential to life

I really have no idea what all is going on in ink drawing on the front of this postcard

which I find simultaneously playful and poignant

and a small fold at bottom right corner

Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies fancy dress Just right I think inI knew nothing of Cockcroft plates when I found these, I just thought they were lovely and beautifully done, clearly hand painted and also very cheerful! With a quick search I learned these were made by Edith Varian Cockcroft (American 1881 1962), and that her plates are quite a known and collected thing. These probably date to the 1930s or so, and Id guess were once two of a dinner set. I must say I like these two as much as anyothers Ive found
