The Bunnykins Business

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Unpaid and working late into the night in a convent, a young nun created rabbit designs for children's tableware in the 1930s as a favourfor herfather, the general manager of Royal Doulton. Still going strong, Bunnykins plates and figures made a fortune forthe company and are now eagerly sought by collectors - a fact that mystifies their creator. Sheila Keegan talked to Barbara Vernon shortly before her death, aged 92, about the rabbit phenomenon and mingles with collectors at a Bunnykins extravaganza in StOke-on-Trent.
