Peter Rabbit NurseryWare

I've looked as much as I can and I can't find this Wedgwood set online with the same box image and name that I have - I can find many with the words 'Nursery Set' and the image contains Peter Rabbit in a blue jacket in the middle of the box but none with this wording and imagery. Wondering if anyone knows when this might have been made? I know it's at least late 70's as I got it when I was born in '78 in Canada.
Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Hi @Sugarcubeod and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!! I don't believe '.pdf' format will open on this site.....has to be either '.jpg or .png'.....IF I'm correct.....if you can snap photos, and keep the file size under 1 mb.....like 640 x 480, I think you'll be OK, if that's not a problem for you....you still have time to edit them yourself

 

You can open .pdf files just fine as long as you have Acrobat on your computer.

 

Welcome, Sugarcubeod. I can open your pdf files on my pc, not sure whether people who access the site via their phones can do it as easily. We prefer full size photos uploaded into the post directly; they are the easiest for most people to see.

 

But can you open them ON HERE????? I guess that was my question..

 

I meant my guidance to be specific to your question. Give it a try if you can.

 

Nah, easier to just post .jpg!! I may have mixed up the numbers of the images in the saving though........Neat little collection!!!!

I'd have guessed made for Canadian export given the dual language. I'd also agree new when you were born. It may not have a name. Having said that, if you find a UK packaged one which is identical, then go with that. Your box will be the only difference.

 

The set is an evergreen Beatrix Potter product and has been produced forever (as I'm sure you've found.) Yours most likely dates to around the time it was gifted.

Thank you guys so much I really appreciate it! It didn't even occur to me that the dual languages would maybe give away that it's a Canadian export - we're so used to seeing french and english on everything that it seems the norm!
Thank you again for your time and answers!

 

A Canadian import. Made in the UK and packaged for the Canadian market.

Yup!

We do see stuff here a fair bit in French and English where the manufacturer has obviously "economised" on packaging.

 

Rather than cost-savings, I'd suspect bi-lingual packaging is to meet Canada's mandatory consumer packaging and labeling requirements. If anyone is interested...

I was clear as mud. What I meant was that companies here often save money by generally using multi lingual labels to meet EU , Canadian or whatever requirements. It's easier and cheaper.
