19th C. Tunstall, England, Jack and Jill Transferware Child's Alphabet Plate paddle with cross handle possibly cut from a scrapbookI love this one for the depiction of the fallen Jack and Jill, tumbling dramatically done the hill, feeling a bit Alice in Wonderland y to me.

Good overall condition, with a couple of rim chips as documented. Stamped Turnstall, England
