Notable markings include a printed rim reading BONE CHINA MADE IN ENGLAND on multiple examples. A commemorative piece is printed with a crown and 1977. Other readable printed inscriptions include Crathie, Elizabeth Castle Jersey, DUNLUCE CASTLE, ISLE OF MAN, and BLACKPOOL. The group includes a dimpled white metal? thimble, a ceramic thimble topped with a canine? figurine, and one example within a clear plastic? protective dome. The wooden rack is divided into approximately forty? rectangular compartments and the collection is presented in a woven wicker basket.
