I've
tried to organize my vintage

neatly into categories for
the most part. This page

"Flower Band" by
Powell and Bishop (England). Beautiful
set I purchased from Sondra Krueger
(host of the TDC Convention 1999). I
love the flower-bud finial on
the lids. |
|
|
|
Ridgway "Humphrey's
Clock" (England) purchased
from Lorraine Punchard. A
charming set - so delicate
and wonderful shapes to these
pieces! |
|
|
Charles
Allerton & Sons Staffordshire,
England - I'm unsure on the
correct name "Girl Sitting
On a Step" or "May Sitting
On a Step" Very pretty
set that I purchased recently
on eBay from a very nice dealer. |
|
|
This
is my charming Staffordshire
Red Willow set that I purchased
on eBay. |
|
|
This
is a gorgeous German tea
set that has applied gold
flowers. There
is service for 6 - you can
see in the mirror at the back
that the gold applied flowers
is only on one side. This
is probably the prettiest and
most elegant set I have. |
|
|
This is
a nice pink luster German tea
set. It has charming pictures
on it with different clowns
and animals doing tricks. |
I
decided I just had to have some
glassware to go with my tea sets.
Most of these have been purchased
on eBay from various Sellers. What
a GREAT place to shop!
|
|
A
wonderful Scottish set purchased
from "bettilee" on
eBay. Beautiful green
color. Also in the background
is a Water Hen set. |
|
|
A
very pretty little French
set purchased from Doris
Lechler on eBay. Such
cute footed pieces! You
will note in this picture and
the one above the little cake
plate! |
|
|
Some
more glassware. There is a
Pennsylvania table set and
a pretty Portland water set. These
are trimmed in gold and I thought
they went so well with the
gold trimmed German set. |
|
|
I
purchased a pretty banana
stand at an antique show
plus the Lacy Daisy berry
set on eBay. Of
course, I had to add a little
fruit to some of these dishes! They
display so nicely! |
|
|
This
is a different banana stand
or fruit dish. You can tell
that it is a "toy" size if
you compare it to the pieces
next to it. Very cute,
and if you know anything about
it please let me know! |
|
|
And
look at these cute little
egg baskets. TWO
were purchased recently from
Doris Lechler. A very
special friend of mine sent
me the little eggs that are
in the middle one. Thank You
Judy! |
|
|
Click the
thumbnail at the left to view
a picture of the dish with
no fruit -- maybe you can tell
a little more. |
|
|
I
also purchased these adorable
little tea cozies from Doris
Lechler! They
fit perfect on the little teapot
that goes with this little
Japan set. After all,
gotta keep that tea hot! |
| Some
of these pictures taken in
my kitchen are so dark and
hard to see. The reason
-- probably because I've
got ALL my windows blocked
with cabinets! Again,
if you will click on the
small picture you can get
a little better look! |
|
|
Three graniteware
tea sets, White Mountain ice
cream freezer and misc. on
top of a cabinet that is full
of other items. |
|
|
Boxed sets
of dishes (mostly Blue Willow)
plus little mixers, etc. on
top of a cabinet that is filled
with teasets. |
|
|
Here
is another look at the little
Flower Pot pieces. These sets are
one of my favorites! There
is also a luster utility set
plus some older tin litho canisters.
I
also have all of the Weishar
Moon & Stars
miniature Water Sets -- they
are so nice and very well made. You
can see a Milkglass set on
top of the cabinet.
|
|
|
And
this is the other oak cabinet
with more Flower Pot pieces. There is a "new" mini
Fiesta pitcher on the top.
I
love to display the newer
pieces with the old. Also
a set of tin litho canisters
with stars and a clear
Moon and Stars Water Set.
|
|
|
Two
oak Hoosier cabinets, one
small white cabinet, mixers,
bowls, etc. Plus small canister
sets and luster Flower Pot
pieces. Lots
of goodies! |
|
|
Set
of Cherries canisters sitting
on cute little white cabinet. The
little cabinet has some miniatures
just the right size! |
|
|
Small
toaster, electric waffle
iron and coffee pot (both
Dover). Brass and graniteware
pans, misc. mixers and toys. Can
you believe the electric
toys actually got hot? |
|
|
Pastry table
(MIB), Wolverine Tin Hoosier
(MIB), Wolverine Tin Litho
Stove, Little Lady electric
stove plus other goodies. |
|
|
A green
water set and on either side
Little Deb water sets with
the tin litho glass holders
and the pitchers. |
|
|
I have an
Akro Agate water set and a
small Chiquita set. |
|
|
More
little stoves and pots & pans,
mixers, graniteware sets, etc. |
|
|
Top
part of cabinet with tea
sets - Nice German sets,
Boxed Made in Japan sets,
Japan "Majolica" sets. MIB
Swan on the Lake and the white
with gold trim Meito set. Some
of my favorites! |
|
|
This
is a very cute little set. Reminds
me of Majolica - but it is
Made in Japan. Lily pads /
water lilies / and little FROGS
on top! I have an elephant
set made by the same company
/ same box etc. and a partial
cottage set made the same. |
|
|
Bottom
part of cabinet with Pink & Teal
Doric & Pansy, Fine Rib,
Delfite, Moderntone, and Pink
Cherry Blossom, etc. All
of these are MIB. OOPS
-- with the exception of the
Pink/Black Little Hostess --
I really need a black lid! |
|
|
Lots
of little aluminum coffee
and tea pots. I
just love these little things. I
have about a dozen (or more)
aluminum sets MIB.
How
did these sets ever survive
all these years?
Some little
girls just weren't allowed
to play with them - or maybe
they liked electric trains
better!
|
|
|
Wonderful
Blue Ridge "Daffodil" or "Cynthiana" set
and a "Colonial American" set.
These sets are both American
made! |
|
|
Lovely
little English set. This is "mix-match" -
you can see that the cup shapes
are different and the little
decal is different. But,
they are all marked exactly
the same with "Made in Japan" stamped
in green. |
|
|
Cabinet
with some plastic sets (Russell
Wright, Banner) and some
boxed sets of aluminum bake
sets. Plus a couple
of dolls!
I
have a beautiful "Rita
Walker" doll (about 30" tall)
made by the Paris Doll Co.
and a cute "Winnie Walker" made
by Advance Doll Co. (Both hard
plastic 50's) Also an
Effanbee baby doll in her original
case and a few small composition
baby dolls.

My
old primitive pie safe. It has some
small pottery and yellow ware
bowls on the top. On
the top half I have Glasbake,
Fire King, Pyrex and Fry toy
bake sets in the box plus some
other boxed bake sets. On
the bottom half lots more boxed
bake sets. |
|
|
Lower
part of the pie safe - boxed
bake sets and a wonderful
Wolverine boxed set of Strawberry
canisters and baking items!
I also have the "Cherries", "Stars", and "Dutch" tin
canister sets made by Wolverine. |
|
|
| Above:
This is a clearer picture
of the small yellow ware
bowls. I
don't know if these were made
specially for children, but
I have seen them in boxed sets. |
|
|
Calumet
Advertising graniteware table
- original wood legs.
On top
is an Ann Drock green utensil
set and a display for toy
rolling pins.
|
| I
would love to hear from others
that collect children's kitchen
items. I hope you have
enjoyed looking at my collection. Everywhere
I look I see things that I
forgot to take a picture of! I
would also like to see what
YOU collect! Have a web
page? Tell me about it so I
can share your treasures. I
would love to have more information
on the toy playtime kitchen
items. |
