Released 1987, retired 2007. Associated with Happy Birthday, Kirsten!Set the table for Kirsten’s birthday party with the same style of simple stoneware dishes and wooden bowls the Larson family had. The pottery is handmade and is a reproduction of an old folk art design. Each piece features a little bird hand-painted in cobalt blue. The plates are edged in the traditional spongeware pattern. A complete service for two includes: two plates, two mugs, two wooden bowls, a pitcher, two knives, forks, and spoons a woven runner, and two napkins.Kirsten's Pottery Grade: A Finally here it is ladies! My daughter got this set for her nineth birthday. She uses it for play alot and has been in the house for 6 months. She loves it. Likely is I will never buy the Rowe pottery set but the play value of this is wonderful!  The set is heavily made but no longer hand painted. It does have a decal that is then sealed under the final glaze. There is a very light crackle finish unger the glazing as well and is quite pretty and the rim of the plates have a speckle finish.  There are two woven napkins and a set of silverware for each place setting. There is a larger milk or cream jug and two smaller mugs all with the same bird design. Also included are two turned wooden bowls. So nice! I can just imagine her father crafting them! Lastly is the table cloth. It is a two tone woven mat. I love the quality of it with small knots finishing each stripe.
