A beautiful bird in the nest feeding her young with flowers and butterflies has been lovingly hand painted on this pretty serving platter. The poem is lovely could even hang it on the wall or inspiration. Made in 1977 by Noritake to celebrate ‘The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady’, written by Edith Holder 1906 published by Webb & Bower in Ireland. The platter measures 12’ in diameter.
The poem decorating the edge
“A cloudless sky, a world of heather;
Purple of foxtail, yellow of bloom;
We two among it, wading together;
Shaking out honey, treading perfume.
Crowds of bees are giddy with clover,
Crowds of grasshoppers skip at our feet,
Crowds of larks at their matins hangover
Thanking the Lord for a life so sweet”
- Jean Ingelow
The Poem written on the back;
The moor-cock springs on whirring wing
among the blooming heather,
Come, let us stray our gladsome Nature,
The rustlng corn; the fruited thorn. And every happy creature
- Robert Burns:
