Need some photos in this thread!
I don't collect for Kit but I do collect doll china sets, as well as cranberry glass (which this is not, but similar enough that I like it).
I think it's a lovely period set. My only quibble is that I think the plates are too big and disproportionate to the rest of the set and scale of the doll. I wish they were the size of what is now the middle circle. Otherwise it is all quite lovely and a nice addition to any collection. I like to use it in combination with some other similar pieces I have:
Grade A-
ETA: I took all but the last photo when the set was new out of its box, before I had a chance to iron the tablecloth. FYI that the creases smoothed out very easily with a simple steam iron.
More ETA: The set comes with what appear to be stock numbers stamped onto the glassware, which IMO mars its appearance. I was pleased to find that those little numbers came off very easily with some light fingernail scratching. The glassware looks much better without them and no harm done.
