A cheerful rabbit of fine bone china by the famous English porcelain maker Aynsley: flowers bloom across its coat with birds among them, and eyes and nose are picked out in gold. The head can be lifted off and turned in different directions – the hollow body hides small treasures.
Marks and Pattern
The marking reads “Est. 1775 · AYNSLEY · Made in England · Fine English Bone China”. Beneath the glaze there is also the pattern name PEMBROKE – a reproduction of an 18th-century Aynsley design.
A Short Look at Aynsley
Aynsley was founded in 1775 by John Aynsley in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire. Its high quality made the company a desirable acquisition: in 1970 it was taken over by Waterford, and in 1997 by the Belleek Pottery Group in Ireland. The Stoke-on-Trent plant closed in 2014.

Baden bei Wien, the flea market. The rabbit sat among teacups, head tilted slightly, as if it had just heard something. Its head lifted off, and inside it was empty – ready for the next small secret. Who confided in it last?
