| "For My Dear Girl" child's plate, ca. 1830 |
Children's china was often intended as a reward for good behavior, doing well in school or behaving in church. It was also a gift of love. My granddaughter is five today. She has been a gift from the moment she was born.
Here are some transferware patterns intended for dear (or good) girls.

Wonderful pottery and such pretty girls! I love having two granddaughters now after having four sons - but I'm so boy-orientated that girls are a bit of a mystery to me.
ReplyDeleteI have three sons and six grandsons! Maya and I tell stories about being little girls together. It is such fun!
