Nursery Rhyme Plate

If you...

have fond remembrances as a child or want to begin making new ones with your children or grandchildren, you'll find what you need here. We search high and low for the things that memories are made from, and make them available to you.

We don't keep a large inventory, so once an item is sold, we probably won't have others like it.

Some pieces are vintage, some contemporary. All are waiting for you to welcome them into your home.

Here you won't find items. You'll find memories.

The nursery rhyme "See-Saw Margery Daw" was published in London in 1765. It's about a young apprentice who didn't work very hard, so he was assigned to a new master.

The origin of "Where Are You Going To, My Pretty Maid" is more ambiguous, as it's a lesser-known rhyme.

To immortalize both poems, the Indiana Glass Company made this children's divided plate for Tiara Exclusives. It gained popularity decades ago, and many of our elder folks today remember eating off of such a plate when they were young.

7 1/2" in diameter.

The plate is $25.00. This cool history lesson is free.
