Released in 1994, retired in 2007. Some pieces (doilies and forks, and a revised version of the bowls) were later released as part of Addy's Ice Cream Set. Associated with Happy Birthday, Addy!
Momma and Mrs. Golden planned a grand party at the boarding house to celebrate two glorious occasions in one: the end of the war, and Addy’s tenth birthday! You can set Addy’s birthday table with two ironstone compotes that have a crackle finish, two lavender tumblers, a copper pitcher, three crocheted lace doilies, and two forks and spoons. Tuck the linen napkins into the napkin rings—they’re etched with little numbers just as they were in the boarding house so you and Addy will remember whose napkin is whose!
Mine just came today. I agree with all of the reviews, it is real nice heavy copper and real glass and all..............but after I opened it, I was very dissapointed.
There is not much too it, what was the real price 58.00??? I have a lot of dolls and all but that sure is a lot of money for a few plates and forks and a historical pitcher.
I just hate the thought that it will be retired and some day I will come across Addy's table and have no historically correct dishes for her.
I am going to keep it in the box for now.
