curio cabinet

We at minniesland.com know you can never have too many birds in your life.  We are therefore pleased to offer several lines of Audubon Birds of America china and collectible plates, each on its own "shelf."   We are no longer carrying complete lines, but we have nice selections from four manufacturers, all dating to the 1950s to 1970s.  We offer Hutschenreuther,  Meakin, Adams, and Royal Worcester (1976).  We also have some odds and ends on our hodgepodge shelf, either single pieces or smaller groups from other manufacturers. For those who enjoy fine older china, we have a very rarities shelf to display some beautiful Birds of America service plates manufactured by Royal Worcester in the 1930s. These plates are truly exceptional, and are well worth a look for anyone who appreciates hand-painted china.  

Scroll down this page for details on what we sell and for links to our inventory.

Our plates look great on the wall or on display in curio and china cabinets.  If you are considering using these or similar dishes as tableware, read our discussion on safety as it relates to china.
