Little Joe Otter is delightfully displayed in the center of this Pairpoint cup plate with his fishing pole, can of worms, big smile, and straw hat. A large fish skims across the top of the plate in chase of two smaller fish, while behind Little Joe's back another fish playfully jumps out of the water. The design for the 10th Thornton W Burgess animal character to be honored in the Burgess Commemorative Cup Plate Series was based on the classic Harrison Cady river ottter illustrations featured in the Burgess animal story books. Pressing for Pairpoint Plate number began in 1980 and was discontinued in 1982.
