Description: Staffordshire Childs Pearlware Toy 6pc Dinner Set COUNTRY BLUE DIMITY Thomas Dimmock and Co. Staffordshire England c 1840 This is a scarce six piece set of miniature tablewares, c1840, originally part of a complete miniature children's dinner service. The doll size set includes one dinner plate (4 inches across),two soup plates (4 inches across), two side plates (3-1/8 inches across) and one gravy pitcher (3-1/2 inches long) very well potted, to the standards usually only seen in full-size Staffordshire table wares, transfer printed in a soft country blue with an overall star or snowflake sheet print and a contrasting scroll border trim, finished with pearlware glaze. The set is unmarked. Sometimes found marked with the embossed initials of the maker, Thomas Dimmock, a well known pottery maker in the Staffordshire region of England from 1828-1859. The pattern name is "DIMITY". A very popular pattern, documented in Doris Lechler's English Toy China as pattern #87. The set is in overall very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor typical manufacturing imperfections -- transfer skips and blobs -- original to the making, adding to the charm and authenticity. Impeccably made. Sold as is, as shown.
