Franklin Porcelain "The Best Loved Fairy Tales" Mini Plates, Carol Lawson Signature Edition

Once upon a time, now in the palm of your hand.

Each of these tiny 3.25" plates tells a fairy tale in miniature. They come from The Best Loved Fairy Tales, a Signature Edition series by Franklin Porcelain, limited edition fine bone china decorated with 24k gold and illustrated by English artist Carol Lawson. The series is a collection of 50 miniature plates produced between 1979 and 1982, and Lawson's richly detailed scenes, painted in a storybook palette of jewel tones, are framed by a delicate gold floral border, each one a little window into a beloved tale. The collection gathers stories from Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Aesop, Scandinavian folklore, and the Arabian Nights, so there is a favorite here for every reader.

At this scale, the possibilities are endless. Hang them on a Christmas tree as ornaments, tuck one into a gift, or build an enchanting plate wall in a nursery, library, or powder room. Choose a favorite story, or bring home the whole collection of fifty.

The complete set arrives with a roll of velvet ribbon in your choice of Scarlet Red or Forest Green, ready for hanging the plates on a tree, a wreath, or a wall.
