One duckling rests on the puppy’s back, another shelters beneath its long ear, while two more sit together among yellow wildflowers, daisies and cowslips.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProduced in 1990 from Royal Worcester fine bone china, the plate was commissioned by Compton \u0026amp; Woodhouse to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the RSPCA. The reverse carries the title and a short verse:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“It’s warm and it’s safe\u003cbr\u003e\nand it’s cosy in here\u003cbr\u003e\nI’m so glad my new friend\u003cbr\u003e\nhas such a big ear”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA fine gold-coloured rim frames the softly painted countryside scene.
