Pleasant Company version
I picked this up last Sunday from the wonderful young lady that I purchased some of Felicity's things from last summer.
It's a really wonderful set and even though we don't have the Mattel set for a side-by-side comparison, I think DD prefers this one anyway.
This set came with a tea pot and lid, sugar, creamer, tablecloth, and 2 of each: tea cups, saucers, plates, forks, knives, spoons and the napkins in red with tulip style flowers (stems are blue, blossoms are yellow).
Each piece is well made, and is a bit heavier than some little girl tea sets of today (not all, but some). The pattern on the pieces is adorable, the colors are vibrant and very pretty. The handles on the utensils are not too heavy but are a nice touch for a child's/doll's tea set!
One of the things we prefer about this set is the tablecloth and the 2 napkins. The tablecloth is not thin at all and even though the napkins don't match (as they do on the Mattel version) we think they add a touch of whimsy to the set.
The 2 large plates have the Pleasant Company logo on the bottom (I'll add photos of those once I can get a good one in daylight).
Overall we give the whole set a grade of A.
