| Enoch Wood & Sons Sporting Series 10 inch plate known as Two Deer, ca. 1825 |
David and I were walking in the hills south of San Francisco on Saturday when we came upon quite a few grazing deer. I thought they were lovely. My sister calls them vermin with antlers, as they eat everything, even her roses! I think the deer may be California mule deer or black tail deer (it seems the difference has to do with the growth habit of the buck's antlers). I would have thought it had to do with the color of the tail!

There are many deer patterns on transferware. I shall show your just a few of my favorites. If you notice some resemblance between the patterns, it is because some
are copied from the same source prints. See if you can spot them.
