Wedgwood Peter Rabbit 2003 Calendar Plate

At 20.5 cm wide, this Wedgwood Peter Rabbit 2003 calendar plate, made in 2002 for the 2003 calendar year, with its Beatrix Potter Ginger and Pickles shop scene and the months of 2003 arranged around the border, is a charming piece of English collectible china that brings one of Beatrix Potter's most delightful shop scenes to the table with the quality of production that the Wedgwood name guarantees.

Made by Wedgwood of Stoke-on-Trent, one of England's most celebrated ceramic manufacturers, this calendar plate is part of the series of annual Beatrix Potter calendar plates that Wedgwood produced for the collector market. The 2003 plate features the Ginger and Pickles shop scene, drawn from The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, in which the cat Ginger and the terrier Pickles run a village shop, the scene rendered with the soft, faithful character artwork that is the hallmark of quality Beatrix Potter licensed products. The months of 2003 are arranged around the border with the clarity and elegance that Wedgwood's ceramic printing achieves, and the combination of the Wedgwood bone china quality with the enduring appeal of the Beatrix Potter characters gives the plate a collector interest that extends well beyond the calendar year for which it was produced. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
