Children's tableware or doll's tableware? This question can not always be answered unambiguously. In any case, it is not children's tableware in the sense that children would have eaten their daily meals from it. Rather, these small-format ceramic objects were used for children's play, and when a coffee table was set for dolls, the children certainly drank from them as well
In the early toy dishes, there are still no specifically child-oriented images; the decor is still strongly based on the production for adults. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the depictions were adapted to the world of children's images and experiences.
