Playing tea party is a persistent form of children's play even in an era when scarcely any adults actually hold tea parties. This Depression-era pressed glass child-size beverage set is the perfect accessory for make-believe dining and drinking. The box lid shows a photo of a girl pouring tea while a boy sips from a cup. Illustrations around the base of the box similarly show a girl and boy enjoying dessert out of miniature dishes.
