Vintage Frank M. Whiting Bobwhite Quail sterling silver and porcelain coaster / small dish, featuring the scarce game-bird design after an original by noted naturalist and wildlife artist Dennis Puleston.
The center features a beautifully hand-colored Bobwhite Quail scene on china, surrounded by a substantial sterling silver beaded rim.
The reverse is marked:
Exclusively for Frank M. Whiting

Original by Dennis Puleston
Hand Colored on China
The silver mount is stamped “FRANK M. WHITING & CO. STERLING.”
