Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies standup horsehair barbers brush A great pedestal for all

A great pedestal for all sorts of little things

and which I think would make a great line-making and design tools

7 1/2" long x 6 7/8" tall x 2" deep

and a piece of black striking paper still in the frame (which has a slit at top should one want to remove it and replace it with something else

that it may once have had moving arms as well

Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies standup horsehair barbers brush A great pedestal for allI knew nothing of Cockcroft plates when I found these, I just thought they were lovely and beautifully done, clearly hand painted and also very cheerful! With a quick search I learned these were made by Edith Varian Cockcroft (American 1881 1962), and that her plates are quite a known and collected thing. These probably date to the 1930s or so, and Id guess were once two of a dinner set. I must say I like these two as much as anyothers Ive found
