The tableware set, produced during World War I, depicts four scenes of children playing war. The children wear suggested German uniforms, the stuffed animals wear clothes of Germany’s wartime enemies. The tableware set is a typical mass product with patriotic motifs of the time. The decorations were applied to prepared white ware exclusively at women’s workplaces using the transfer technique and fused with the glaze underneath during firing.
