Motifs of Wendell August

       This month's picture taking turned out rather poorly, but I remain enarmoured by these old motifs.Some of the older ones are going to be a real problem, as they are on large trays that were also used for table tops

.



Elephant
                                              Until then, here are more examples:




American Quarter Horse
Cherry
The Elephant, right is especially impressive on a bar tray, showing a herd of five, moving in line,    
                                                         across the plain






Apple is the name used in old catalogues.
Not apple blossem, just apple.





Daisies


Ship's wheel. Probably a
part of their Sails group


The daisies here are in a natralistic design. In another motif, they are used as a scattering of flowers across  small plate.


There was a period when all sports such as sailing or polo, were a popular theme for many companies.







                                         



                       
                                                                     
Time to quit while all pictures are in in place, It takes so little to scatter pics and captions helter skelter across the page. More later.
