With Easter fast approaching, I’ve put together a selection of plates featuring rabbits – perfect for serving an Easter-eggy breakfast, or perhaps those little ‘eggs in nests’ cakes made with chocolate-covered shredded wheat and mini eggs.
1. Joules Hare Side Plate (ok, so it’s a hare and not a rabbit, but still perfect for Easter) – the plate I will be serving my Easter treats on.
2. Spode Delamere Rural Rabbit Side Plate A modern reinterpretation of a classic, this plate would be perfect for crustless egg and cress sandwiches (leaving room for the chocolate of course). [Edit, March 2016, sadly this now seems out of stock]
3. Rabbit Dinner Plate from Anthropologie. Rabbit stew anyone?
4. . Classic blue and white bone china, with a contemporary design and rabbit motif, just lovely.
5. Anorak Kissing Rabbits Melamine Plate. For little hands not ready to manage china, or for picnics out of doors, this melamine plate is the business.
6. Emma Bridgewater Peter Rabbit Plate. No round up of rabbit design plates would be complete without an appearance by Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. The combination of Beatrix Potter and Emma Bridgewater makes this plate quintessentially British (doubly so!) and is bound to appeal to children and adults alike.
Which is your favourite?
Whatever plate you will be serving your eggs and soldiers on this Easter, hope you all have a lovely time, and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend in the sunshine.

Anorak is a classic. I have a few of their items and love them. The joules one is great too. Love the colour.

Thanks Claire. I don’t have anything by Anorak myself, but my daughter has a ‘kissing horses’ towel – it’s lovely. The Joules plate is fun, the set also has other animal designs too, on different colour backgrounds.

Thanks Claire, it’s a great colour and I think the most unusual design of them all.

I loved reading The Tale of Peter Rabbit to my children, and watching the animation too, so the plate brings back lovely memories and I expect it does for anyone, like you, who had the book as a child too. Thanks for popping by from #LoveYourHome x

The joules plate and the anorak ones are just lovely. When I win the lottery I shall have a house with masses of storage space, enough to store a complete set of Easter crockery which I shall bring out each year. In the meantime, I shall just read round ups like this, and dream….!
me too, different sets for every occasion! Thanks for stopping by x

I love the Joules plate.
I have a bit of a thing about hares – moreso than rabbits. I have 3 hare pictures and bronze sculptures of them on my dining room!

aha, I didn’t know that. I have a friend who loves hares too, so I have a ‘hare alert’ when I’m out shopping. I might pick you up something for your collection.
