These toy plates were recovered from the wreck of the Fiji. The ship was coming from Germany, and carried cargo from at least 6 different toy factories. Germany was a major producer of toys of all kinds during the C19th, and the porcelain factories of Thuringia exported china dolls and teasets for children all over the world.
