Bess & Ted Milkmaid



Milk Maid-Egg Dish....
  • Early 1900's- Plate found at an antique shop in Brooklyn, Michigan. Marked on back in gold title--"Bess And Ted. 1902." Haviland France. Gold embellished border.
  • Egg Dish-Flea Market find--Early American Glass

Beautiful Milk-Maid poses from her busy work day--clad in a Victorian Floral Hat...deep pink, puffy-sleeved dress...white farm apron..one arm resting on her shapely waist...the other gracefully holding the milkpail. The 'deviled egg dish' finishes the farm theme...unseen in this photo is the floral-worked metal wall easel that displays this vignette.
