Here is a very nice set of Children's tea set made in Japan. The pattern is of a blooming cherry tree with a little green bird flying by. The set includes 4 plates, 4 cups, tea pot w/lid, sugar w/lid and creamer, and a little serving bowl. The tea pot is marked Little Duchess and then has Japanese writing. That is the only piece that is marked. I ran my fingers over each piece and cannot detect any chips. The paint has no rubbing. It is a very nice set - here are the measurements:
Plates - 3"
Cups - 2"'
sugar bowl - 3" handle to handle
creamer - 2"
tea pot - 4"
bowl - 1.5"
