Hen Tureens


This was once an ordinary stove top, but just look at it now!

Hens make a kitchen cozy and warm. They go anywhere and come in so many colors and sizes, from 2 inches to 16 inches wide.

Remember, all Victorian hens face to the left; if you have a right facing hen it is probably 20th century and/or not English.

Year of the Rabbit


2011 was the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. Staffordshire rabbits
come in so many sizes and are the most prized animals of all for collectors, even more than leopards.

A pair of big rabbits is really important and looks wonderful on a mantle, on a piano, or on any table. They were done in all white with gilt, black and white, and all black with gilt.
