Feeding (and Feeling!) the Rabbit, 19th C. Staffordshire Transferware Child's Mug sewer tile mug beginning in 1855A sweet one for the Easter season I thought, and I especially like that imperfections to the transfer make "Feeding the Rabbit" looking very much like "Feeling the Rabbit," which itself could be read literally, and also as if one were filled with the spirit of the bunny.
