Isn’t this a cute little plate?  Didn’t know what it was, but knew that it was older.

Turns out that it was made by Dithridge & Company of Pittsburgh and Jeannette Pennsylvania which operated between 1862-1900.

This little plate was supposedly part of a special line of Easter novelty decorations. I have seen it called Ducks and Eggs. The number 93 is pressed on the back and refers to the mold number.

The plate likely had other colours on the front. Others that I have seen online show different colours.

I think this is the first piece I have purchased  made by Ditheridge (or as far as I know in any event).
