I had a wander a couple of times round. Passed over responsibility of child to my mum which gave me the time and space to go where I wanted.
And I was rather lucky. I bought two dishes with gloriously kitsch ducks on them for 10p each. A lovely lady gave me free a Singer machine attachment as she had no idea what it was (mum tells me it is a buttonholer). And I saw this lovely plate and purchased it for £1.
It is by made by Arabia in Finland. I looked them up and they have a huge production supplying a lot of Europe. But I could find nothing about this particular design. I would love to know when it was made. At first I thought 1950s but now I am thinking 1970s. If you know please tell me.
**UPDATE** The loevly Louise of ThirtyFive Flowers blog found the name of the design for me (see comments). Thank you so much! It is called ' Emilia'.
