Mary Ellen's teaset

Porcelain tea service: this plain white porcelain tea service was likely to have been made in Germany, like many other toys in Australia in the late C19th and early C20th. It is possible that this was a small part of an entire dinner service. These were available in sets that included plates, soup bowls, tureens, ladles and vegetable dishes. The tiny size of these suggests that they may have been intended for use in a doll house
The green glazed jug is earthenware. Its size indicates that it was made for children to use for their own tea parties, rather than for dolls.
