c.1901 Denslows Mother Goose Rain, Rain, Go Away Decorative Plate-Haynes Co. Baltimore
1901 Denslows Mother Goose Rain, Rain, Go Away Decorative Plate-Haynes Co. Baltimore. W.W. Denslow's ""Mother Goose"" was such a success, it even inspired a few plates. The Haynes Pottery Company of Baltimore, Maryland (see verso stamping on plate) created this colorfully illustrated with ornate scallop edging plate. With a golf theme added to Denslow's illustration of Little Arthur with clubs over his shoulder this plate remains in excellent condition with much of the wear contained on reverse where what may be a later added metal hanging piece resides which shows rust. The accompanying rhyme is as follows:
""Rain, Rain, go away,
come again another day;
Little Arthur wants to play.""
Plate has a diameter of 13"" Made by Haynes Pottery (with their stamp on the rear), This charger is one of the largest ceramic pieces you will find in decorative golf collectibles. It measures 13” in diameter. The charger features an illustration done by Lia Wallace Denslow from a 1901 edition of Mother Goose. It depicts the Little Arthur character in his red jacket and Scottish kilt golf outfit carrying a bag of clubs. Surrounding him is the rhyme “Rain Rain, Go Away Come again another day; Little Arthur wants to Play. “ Towards the bottom of the piece there is an attribution which reads: “From Denslows Mother Goose Copyright 1901.” This charger was meant to be hung on a wall and there are receiving holes for a wall hanger on the back that were integral with the manufacture of the piece.
Makes a stunning eye-catching display and does not come to auction very often.
