Purchased from an Estate in Fort Collins Colorado this very early, rare Kewpie style Baby children's tea is remarkable ! Hand painted babies with the pointed hair typical of the popular kewpie cartoon of the era. It has been used as a tea set and inside the tea pot shows tea discoloration. The estate owner had owned this set her entire life & she received it as child in 1915. It was one of her most cherished toys. There are no makers marks whatsoever, the workmanship is typical of export porcelian from Germany during this era. The images are painted by hand and not decals. Each is slightly different which makes for a very appealing set !It is very cute , the lid fits shown on the tea pot in the first photo also fits the sugar bowl, I am not sure which one the lid goes to - so please note you will get 1 lid.
