It hung on her bedroom wall for as long as I knew her and then when it came to my mother she put it on her bedroom wall. So now ta da it is hanging on mine!
I have always thought it was just the prettiest thing with it's naive depiction of courting and flirting. I love the sweet dress and hat on the young lady in the swing although I have to admit the short knickers on the gentleman bring a smile to my face.
The back has no markings of any kind so the maker is unknown to me. It is heavy and has 2 small holes that a wire runs through for hanging.Even though it may not be of any significant monetary value, it is priceless in my heart!
Thanks Terri and Martha for the opportunity to share this with everyone today!

Hi Tina!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely charming wall plaque! And even sweeter that its now a family heirloom for you! Perhaps your grandfather bought it when he was courting your grandmother :-)
It reminds me so much of the vintage figurines in the same styling with Victorian couples.
Thanks so much for sharing your treasure today!
Hugs and Smiles,
Lynn

Hello Tina- This is a lovely plate (sorry I'm so late). I love when people post about something so dear. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh Goodness! this is so gorgeous! It actually reminds me of a piece that my own grandma has, its of the woman swinging (I swear she looks just like that) but its freestanding...its the girl swinging from the branch.
ReplyDeleteToo sweet! My guess is that they are from the 50s or 60s. You dont see treasures like that any more!~
It's a gorgeous plate, and so much more by the fact that it was your grandma's...
ReplyDeleteIt is a much-loved heirloom of that I'm sure.
Thank you for sharing it's beauty with us.
Thank you for stopping by today, Tina, and for the sweet words you left for me on my blog. Your thought mean more than I can say.
ReplyDeleteNow...i love that amazing plate! I don't have much that belonged to my gramma but the few things I do have I cherish.
Blessings to you~
