I had an earlier blog about my collection of ceramic planters. The duck is a hanging one as there are holes on the back to hang it from the wall. The white poodle is one that I picked up at an antique store. Della was given the small doll plate of blue willow and the plate with the ducks was my mom's. I never expected to get that plate but my remaining two older brothers went through things and they apparently didn't want it. I always liked it as a kid and I guess the guys think it is just another old plate. I don't know it's history, but I believe it probably was great grandmas on mom's side. It will be fun to find something out about it in antique books but I haven't had the time.

Hey, That is a great duck platter! My Grandma had a set of ducks just like your planter one..they seemed to be in thing as wedding gifts around 1950..she bought some then and told me she kept a set for herself. I love all this old "stuff" ..I don't have very much of mine dispayed..as I hate to dust! Thanks for the comment on my blog..I am going to look around here in your photo blog for a photo of your Border Collie! :)
