They go anywhere and come in so many colors and sizes, from 2 inches to 16 inches wide. <br /><br />Remember, all Victorian hens face to the left; if you have a right facing hen it is after 1890, not English, and probably 20th century.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/112614554533668135-1298564604600466230?l=elinor-collecting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elinor Pennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15193865807349296697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-112614554533668135.post-13765859104949832792011-08-05T11:57:00.001-07:002012-02-22T05:25:12.902-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vM6se3TtrYc/Tjw9x_8pAYI/AAAAAAAAADQ/YT4CazxzrA8/s1600/Year%2Bof%2Bthe%2BRabbit.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vM6se3TtrYc/Tjw9x_8pAYI/AAAAAAAAADQ/YT4CazxzrA8/s200/Year%2Bof%2Bthe%2BRabbit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637448762749682050" border="0" /></a><br /> 2011 was the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. Staffordshire rabbits<br /> come in so many sizes and are the most prized animals of all for collectors, even more than leopards.<br /><br /> A pair of big rabbits is really important and looks wonderful on a mantle, on a piano, or on any table. They were done in all white with gilt, black and white, and all black with gilt.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/112614554533668135-1376585910494983279?l=elinor-collecting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elinor Pennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15193865807349296697noreply@blogger.com0
