This "Made in France" 16 piece set would elegantly outfit the kitchen cupboard of the most particular little cook. The set is called "Le Reve de Jeannette"(Jeanette's Dream).It is in its original box and all 16 items are still in their original tied in positions. The pots and pans appear to be made of cast aluminium, the molds and utensils of tin and wood. There are 2 rectangular bain marie - large and small, 2 oval roasting(?) pans - large and small, 2 oval casserole (lidded pots with the name of the toy impressed in the lids), 1 round uncovered handled pan, 3 food molds, 1 whisk, 1 ladle, 1 skimmer and 1 wooden spoon. The largest piece( covered casserole) is 5 1/4" long an 1 3/4" high, all the other pieces are proportionately smaller . The back of the bottom of the box has a sweet scene of children playing at cooking and serving in an orchard.
I would date this as pre WWII. Condition is excellent.

Potichomanie was a very popular Victorian handicraft between 1840 and 1870. It is defined as the art of coating the inside of glass vessels with engravings, painting, die cuts, so as to give them the appearance of painted ware. This vase is a particularly attractive example. The vase is classically shaped, mold blown - rough pontil - 11 1/2 tall and about 6 1/2" at its widest point. The condition of the cutout,Victorian chromolithographed illustrations and the gilt Dresden paper is in very good condition. The rest of the vase is painted (all on the inside,of course) a soft grayish blue and the lip is painted an oxidized shade of gold. The signs of age wear are visible on the painted parts. However, given its age it is in a quite nice decorative condition. On the web, you can read a fascinating explanation of potichomanie and Victorian crafts in a draft version of a book by Talia Schaffer entitled, THE IMITATIVE ARTS: THE VICTORIAN DOMESTIC HANDICRAFT and the REALIST NOVEL.

This late 19th century hanging candle lamp is a mold blown, beautiful deep amber glass in a quilted diamond pattern. Its original brass hanging mechanism is still on it and the gilded brass reflector at the top reads: CLARKE'S PATENT LONDON S TRADE MARK "FAIRY". The condition is excellent, the overall height is 18",the glass portion is 4" tall and the top rim is 2 3/4" in diameter.My understanding is that these candle lamps were hung on Victorian Christmas trees.
