This Bunnykins Hot water Bowl - minus lid, was a gift to my Aunt on the Birth of her son over 20yrs ago. Looking into it it may of been made earlier however we can't establish too much information as details are so far spread out nothing makes much sence to us newbies.

We've established the stamp is from 1959-1975 earthenware.

Hot water plates dated between 1940-1969

As for picture don't know what it's called.

There is also a mark we've been unable to identify it looks close to the artist mark "M Unwin" but unsure.

If there is anyone out there who can help us we'd be forever grateful!

I just bought a Bunnykins Hot plate at auction. It has a lid with three seperate pictures on it and a picture on the inside of the bowl. I've still yet to date it. I think it's got something to do with the numbers next to the Royal Doulton mark.

I have one almost identical, but for a different picture. Signed by Barbara Vernon. Also lidless (did it used to have a lid?)

Mine is latest 1953, which would fit with when my mother would have bought it. The back stamp helps.

I will tell you more when and if I find out any more.
Thankyou

Thankyou David for your reply, it was most helpful and precise.

The artist mark i was refering to is to the middle left side to the bunnykins stamp Looks sort of like a 'dent' you could say, maybe it's just that and not an Artist mark after all!

Once Again Thankyou for your help dating this piece.
