Title: Adderley Floral Bone China Made in England
Post by: RHR on January 07, 2015, 03:42:51 PM

I have found these online but they seem to be used for many different things. Bouquets, brooches, jewelry and place holders. I'm guessing the ones I found are place holders. Can anyone tell? If you need more pictures, I will be gladly add them but I cant until Saturday. I have seen different prices as well. From about $5-10 each.
Thanks!

They are very small. About 1.5 inches. Just fit into the palm of my small hand. :)

Thanks Mart. I did see numerous ones online. Some came with boxes in different sets. 4,6,8. The ones I have are just in a small white box. like a jewelry box. I cant remember how many are there though. I think 6 or 8. I wasn't sure if they were used as place card holders or to put in a bouquet like I seen on some of the google images.
Thanks again!

If you are looking at the pics online for their use,,you may find several !!  A common tactic since no one uses place card holders anymore is to give other uses for today !! So you get " Vintage place card holders or could be used as ______ !!  It helps your sale !!  And then again some just may not know what they are and are guessing !! But the upright leaf at the back would tell me they are card holders,,card rests against the upright leaf,, decorative part at front is lower so you can see the name and look pretty !!
