Antique porcelain tea trivet tile. It is 1/2" tall and 5-5/8" X 5-7/8". It features a hand painted scene of three Dutch children playing in the water pulling a clog boat. The back is marked "Germany 1399". It is in overall beautiful condition! Very slight chipping at 3 of the corners and a bit of scuffing from age and use. Overall, very nice!!

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ~ Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
