English bone china

and maybe a little boneless china!

First up, a yummy flow blue example of the Doulton 'Watteau' pattern, circa 1895

 After taking that picture, I took my camera outside to photograph the rest of what I have.  This task was made more difficult by the appearance of...

the young gentleman shown above, who often visits to socialize with me, distract me, and (mostly) to steal the food I put out for...

this sad little guy.  While I'm pretty certain that the one who wants to steal his food has a home -- he's very clean, and very friendly -- sad little guy, who I've named Victor, is homeless and bears the scars of a rough life on the streets.  I'd like to trap him, and at least get him fixed.  I would also try to socialize him, which I don't expect to be easy.  Even after having been fed by me for months now, he is still careful to keep his distance.  I am aware, however, that prayer works miracles, and not just for people.

Now onto more china!
