Storybook and nursery rhyme patterns have always been popular motifs for children’s tableware and tea sets. I have several small glass plates with nursery rhyme themes. The tin tea sets that same out of Japan, especially after World War II, are particularly popular, both with the children at the time and collectors of today. They fit into several collection categories, including toy collectors, doll collectors, and storybook collections.
There are traditional storybook motifs of course, and then there are the items licensed by the ever-popular Walt Disney Productions.
