For me it invokes lots of nostalgia (especially for Butter Rum

but really get excited to find unusual whimsies like this one

Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies small lidded box Overall: 4 3/4" tallI 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
