Mrs. Rabbit is shown wearing a blue dress and white apron, holding a bowl and spoon while leaning over a small rabbit tucked under a white blanket. The bed features a green headboard and a striped bed skirt. A horizontal coin slot is located on the back of the standing figure. The base retains its original plastic stopper and bears printed copyright information for Frederick Warne and Co. 1994, the model number 282820, and a China origin mark.
