No. 8 - Small bowl

No. 8 of the Ashtead Potters Christopher Robin Nursery Set is a small bowl. The subject matter is 'Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place' from A. A. Milne's book 'Winnie the Pooh'. The bowl is transfer printed but the original set (presented to the Duke and Duchess of York in 1928) was hand painted, as was a second 'special edition' presented to A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin Milne - the inspiration for the character.

The legend on the base of the bowl reads: This is No. 8 Of 24 Pieces of the Christopher Robin Nursery Set made in England by Ashtead Potters Ltd. Epsom, from E. H. Shepard's copyright Designs Regd No. ??????
