Thank you! What about the red boots he's wearing in the artwork? I didn't see him wearing those in the link you sent. Why does he have a British accent if he's from Peru?

I am Peruvian myself and always wondered about that!
Plus the only bears in Peru are spectacled bears and Paddington looks like a brown bear

I thought Rod Stewart’s singing was dreadful at the Jubilee concert - feel bad now Penny his wife has divulged that he caught covid in Vegas and lost his voice completely - he went to the sound check on Weds with a mask on but still no voice - he was poised to pull out right up to the last minute even after his voice came back as it still wasn’t right - what a trouper for going on

OT: Can anyone identify the china in the Paddington Bear skit? It's beautiful.

My first thought was that perhaps it's Wedgwood.

I looked on their website and they hold a Royal Warrant which was issued to them by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995.

The china QE shares with Paddington may be a discontinued pattern but might be worth contacting Wedgwood? Let us know how you get on!

There are a couple of firms in the UK that sell discontinued and replacement china - chinasearch and/or china village from memory and they have stock from all the major UK china producers. I would expect the china is from a UK pottery but there's a good chance it's something like 150 years old too ! (I exaggerate but YKWIM :smile:)
