Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies small lidded box I'm always on the hunt

I'm always on the hunt for good boxes

and just the sort I'm forever opening old school books in hopes of discovering but never do

but really get excited to find unusual whimsies like this one

Overall: 4 3/4" tall

I think it's a pretty terrific frog to begin with

Pair of 1930s Cockcroft Hand-painted Floral Plates: Two Lilies small lidded box I'm always on the huntI knew nothing of Cockcroft plates when I found these, I just thought they were lovely and beautifully done, clearly hand painted and also very cheerful! With a quick search I learned these were made by Edith Varian Cockcroft (American 1881 1962), and that her plates are quite a known and collected thing. These probably date to the 1930s or so, and Id guess were once two of a dinner set. I must say I like these two as much as anyothers Ive found
