12 Royal Doulton Bird Plates, Ra5126, Joseph Hancock

This is a set of 12 Royal Doulton 8 3/4" bird plates, numbered Ra5126.  All of the plates have a different hand-painted bird scene, and are signed by the artist, Joseph Hancock.  These have a lovely, misty pale green in most backgrounds, which the camera doesn't always catch. The extra decorative trim inside the outer band makes this elegant set even more attractive.

Birds featured include:  Block Headed Gull, Ptarmigan, Common Grouse, Golden Eye Duck, Quail, Oyster Catcher, Hooded Merganser, Woodcock, Plover, Pintail Duck, Mountain Partridge, and Snipe.

Most of the plates have a few scratches on the front surface (see close up photos).
