Description

Rare, Incredible Bennington Rockingham Yellow Ware Minature Child’s DollTea Set. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This is just the most incredible find for anyone who collects Yellow ware, Bennington Pottery, Rockingham Pottery, etc. For sale is a 12 piece miniature set of brown glazed child’s or doll’s tea set. It features a tea pot, five handled cups and six saucers. The teapot and saucers are embossed with a beautiful grape and leaf cable design. The tea pot, of course, unfortunately, is missing its lid. However, to find a set surviving in this state of condition is amazing. If you collect Pottery of this type, this is a must- have for your collection. There are the expected nicks and chips here and there, but overall it is in great condition. Such a survivor and so adorable.I am sure there was another cup to go with the set, but sadly, it has been lost as has the lid to the teapot..I would imagine this was made from one of the many potteries near East Liverpool, Ohio, that made this type of ware during the mid-1800s. This set was from a long time collection, and purchased probably about 20 miles from East Liverpool. The plates are approximately 2 1/2 inches across and the tiny tea cups are less than 1 inches tall. The teapot is less than 2 inches tall. Sooooo sweet. I would venture to say that they are not too many other sets like this offered for sale. In my nearly 40+ years of Collecting, this is the first that I have been able to find.
