I have a Bunnykins Child's Bowl. The bowl is at least 50 yrs old. It is a very heavy thick bowl it weighs 26 oz. The rim arround the bowl is about 1/2" thick and has pictures of running bunnies all around the top. Inside the bowl is a picure to Royal Looking Rabbits. He's tipping his high hat to her and she has on a long red coat trimmed in fur and her hands are in a fur muff and she is wearing a bonnet. He has on a long jacket & wearing a some kind of tie, perhaps an ascot. Under the picture is the name Barbara Vernon. On the bottom in black is possibly a lion standing over a crown with the words Made in England under that going across the top of a circle under the crown, there is some kind of symbol in the circle and written around the circle are the words Royal Doultan England. Next to the crown on the left is a capital letter A. Next to that picture on the right is a colored picture of the same picture much smaller and 3 rabbits with red jackets on and under that the word "BUNNYKINS". The 2 pictures are the same size. The bowl shows wear but has aged gracefully. There are only wear marks the pictures are very clear easy to see, there is wear on the bottom, there are hairline scrathes on the picture inside the bowl, apparently from a spoon, you can tell this was used for feeding a child. I also have a child's 2 handled mug that is newer then the bowl it shows no wear. It has the same colored picture as the bowl. The words under it....English Fine Bone China and regd. trade mark under that. There are the same running rabbits as the bowl running around the rim of the cup. A picture of 5 rabbits, 2 adults, 2children & 1 baby being held by one adult. The other adult is riding an Ice Cream Cart. On the back is a rabbit hiker (w/backpack) wiping his brow & holding an ice cream cone while leaning against a rock on the side of the road. There are some little scratches on that rabbit only seen with a magnifying glass. There is no wear on the 2 handles it appears to have never been used. It is definately a newer piece. Could you please give me some information on the bowl & mug perhaps the age especially the bowl and maybe the value of each piece? Thanks so much for your time. Sorry for being so long but I wanted to be as accurate as possible. I can email a picture of each. Sandi Campbell
