Long ago I purchased an antique Royal Grafton trinket dish that features the famous comical equestrian artwork of British cartoonist Norman Thelwell.  Thelwell's cartoons for Royal Grafton showcase Thelwell's signature plump, hairy ponies and determined young girl riders in humorous predicaments (such as water jumps, bumpy rides, or carrying umbrellas while galloping). These vintage pieces are widely sought after by equestrian and British pottery collectors. You can find various listings and examples via the eBay Thelwell Mug Listing or browse community offerings on the Etsy Thelwell Cartoon Market. ;
