Originally part of a complete children's tea service, the plate measures 5-3/8" in diameter. The decoration is transfer printed in a rich cherry red or dark English pink. The piece depicts a little girl, named Mae or May sitting on a doorstep with her trust pet dog, a cat on her lap and a kitten lapping up milk from a saucer beside her.
