Samantha's Tea Set ~ Overall Grade A+
Plan a tea party just like Samantha would have had - with family, friends, or even your favorite dolls!
12 Piece Tea Set Includes:
2 Girl-Size Cups
2 Girl-Size Saucers
2 Doll-Size Cups
2 Doll Size Saucers
1 Cookie Platter
1 Teapot (With Lid)
1 Sugar Bowl (With Lid)
1 Creamer
Planning A Tea Party (14 Page Booklet with fun recipes)
Porcelain tea set is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
Box dated 2002.
I purchased this late 2005 for DD. The purchase price was half off because it was on clearance, so I paid $50. This is one set that I highly recommend for any collector or Mom with a daughter that loves AG.
It is very well made. The flowers and detailed flourishes on the pieces are beautifully done. The colors are vibrant and cheerful. The box insert is stiff foam so the pieces pack nicely but not too tightly that a young lady couldn't manage removing them herself. The pieces are not "heavy" but they are substantial.
From the back of the box:
Samantha's Tea Set
In an elegant household like Samantha's the Lady of the House was expected to be a gracious hostess. When friends came calling at teatime, it was proper for the lady of the house to serve her guest as a sign of hospitality.
Samantha's Tea Set includes a booklet on planning your own Victorian tea party - complete with recipes for fun and tasty snacks!
The 14 page booklet includes information on Afternoon Tea Parties, Garden Tea Parties, Doll Tea Parties, Place Settings and Decorations, Clothes, Music, and Food.
The recipes included are:
Cream Cheese & Walnut Sandwiches
Jelly Biscuits
Lemon Ice
(I will see about scanning the booklet and posting also.)
I have never regretted purchasing this set for DD. She has used it for 4 years and has taken very good care of it. It was 1 of the first AG themed items she ever received so it's very special, but it's also a very "usable" set.
