Nana, enjoy tea with your granddaughter and tell her about American history at the same time. This charming set is inspired by a circa 1780 porcelain child's tea set in the collections of Colonial Williamsburg.
Young girls in colonial America often played with toys that served as early training tools for household and family management. Tea parties helped colonial young ladies learn social skills for the parlor. Today, the management and communication skills needed for a tea party are good preparation for success in the business world!
The deep blue floral design on this white porcelain is timelessly beautiful. This authentic Williamsburg Tea for Two set includes a tray, teapot, sugar bowl, creamer, two saucers, and two handleless cups. (The handleless teacups reflect Chineses influences. Handles were optional in the 18th century and didn't become the norm until the 19th century.)
