This review is for the Rowe Pottery Set
Each piece is hand-painted and the design varies by set and even by piece. They are beautiful, thick, hard pottery pieces with slight speckles. The wooden bowls are big enough in size to serve Kirsten a good size meal and hold those strawberries that have been falling all over my room for nearly 20 years! The table runner is excellent woven cotton and looks and feels like real Scandinavian tablecloths. The napkins are raw, unbleached cloth with frayed edges. The flatware is lightweight metal and look nearly identical to the original mid-19th century child/doll sized pewterware I have. The pottery is rather fragile and some of the pieces are chipped, but it doesn't show while they are on display. The set cleans with a little elbow grease and soap and water or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. The wooden bowls are water stained, so people with this collection must find a dry spot to store their set.
Overall grade: A

Close up of flatwear. Kirsten's in the middle, antiques on the ends. They are VERY similar!
