Toy China Toilette Set for French Fashion Doll c 1880

Antiques : Dolls : Accessories

 

This partial toilette set is unmarked, but most likely made in Germany. There are no decals, the floral design is completely hand painted! It is too small for real use, it is a child's toy to be used with a large fashion doll. This set is partial being only three pieces: a 5" tall pitcher and a lidded soap dish. The lidded dish measures 2" tall to tip of handle, 2 1/4" long and 1 1/2" wide. The bottom has a tiny chip at rim which is hidden when lid is on and the pitcher has a small chip at rim (see photo, I have marked them). The soap dish bottom has a manufacturing flaw where the rim is not straight (shows in photo). There is some wear to the gold painted design. These pieces are lovely and so hard to find.
