Description: I offer this rare and wonderful one of a kind piece from my personal collection. I have been collecting since the 1980's and have owned this since about 1996. I bought two plates by the same artist that day, and one was unfortunately damaged in a move. I have shown the more descriptive back signature of the broken one in the last photo for reference as to date. It is in the last photo with "Circus Day, April 30, 1884" on the back. This is about 140 years old! As you can see, it is a hand painted beautifully done painting of a Cairn Terrier or Border Terrier with a rabbit in it's mouth. The expression in it's eye as it appears to be looking up at it's master is priceless! The clouds are beautifully done in soft colors. It has a bit of impressionist style to it. Painted by "L. Shropshire" of Lexington Kentucky on a quality Haviland Limoges porcelain blank. The mark on the blank is mark F dating from 1876 -1889. This painter was quite skilled, and it is so much nicer than those mass-produced transfer designs! A must see, and you will never see another exactly like it! Measures 10" in diameter and is in perfect condition. The dark spot on the pale blue rim is simply a drop of paint under the glaze when originally created. This is an original painting, and not a transfer print. Easy to hang on the wall with a plate hanger, or display on a shelf. Perfect for a Terrier lover! A great gift! Sadly, at 70 years of age I am now divorced and need to down size. This piece is so wonderful, I really wouldn't mind keeping it, but I have offered it for sale to fellow Terrier lovers. A great piece to become an heirloom to be passed down in your family. Please view the photos, and feel free to ask any questions. Local pick up available. Just message me & wait for an invoice before paying. I will remove shipping charge on the invoice. Thank you for viewing my beautiful terrier painting, and have a great day!
