The colour details are spot on: 'but oh, this was such a brave little horse, so gay and splendid on his four green wheels, so proud and dashing with his red saddle and blue stripes!'

I suspect the plate is a product of the 60s or 70s. And although the style is very different from the illustrations you've posted above - I would swear it is the same little horse! The little adventures and even the shape of the saddle would suggest that whoever designed the plate was (at least partly) inspired by this story. I wish I had a picture of my plate to share, but I was able to find this image of a matching cup (which I unfortunately do not own). The cup in the middle is the same little wooden horse pictured on my plate: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jojebin/6249479720/Chandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166022222097462784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-4803891757026374312012-01-30T16:49:50.637+00:002012-01-30T16:49:50.637+00:00How intriguing.

I love the amount of expression the illustrations manage to animate into the Little Wooden Horse. I hope you and your daughter love the book as much as we do!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399800633974908962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-74805020291603492642012-01-30T14:22:07.686+00:002012-01-30T14:22:07.686+00:00Wow!

And I've always been puzzled by the images on the plate - which show the adventures of a little wooden horse all around the rim! I wonder if it has anything to do with this book! In any event, I'm adding this book to my wish-list right away!Chandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166022222097462784noreply@blogger.com
