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.
