No. 22 of the Ashtead Potters Christopher Robin Nursery Set is a small lidded preserve dish. The illustations show Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. Apart from the base there is no text printed on the piece. The preserve dish is transfer printed but the original set (presented to the Duke and Duchess of York in 1928) was hand painted, as was a second 'special edition' presented to A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin Milne - the inspiration for the character.

The legend on the base of the preserve dish reads: This is No. 22 Of 24 Pieces of the Christopher Robin Nursery Set made in England by Ashtead Potters Ltd. Epsom, from E. H. Shepard's copyright Designs Regd No. ??????
