1936 Royal Doulton Bunnykins Mug – Yarn Knitting & Dance Scene – Vintage English Bone China (3”)

This is part of our Bunny Season: Bunnies & Friends vignette.

A charming piece of childhood nostalgia, this vintage 1936 Royal Doulton Bunnykins mug features a heartwarming scene of bunnies dancing and playing with yarn. Dressed in colorful little outfits, the bunnies come to life in delightful mid-century detail. With a flared lip, petite handle, and whimsical illustrations circling the entire cup, it’s a delightful addition to any vintage kitchen, nursery, or springtime décor.

First introduced in 1934, Bunnykins china was created by Royal Doulton and originally illustrated by Sister Mary Barbara Bailey, the daughter of Royal Doulton’s general manager. Designed as nurseryware, it quickly became a collector’s favorite due to its charming anthropomorphic characters and pastoral scenes. Early pieces like this mug are highly sought after for their hand-detailed artistry and quality English bone china. Collectors love how every scene tells a story—this one, with yarn balls and dance steps, is full of joy and movement.
