Children's Ceramic Tea Set and Companion Large Pitcher

This collection features a charming children's ceramic tea set alongside a larger, coordinating ceramic pitcher. The tea set consists of a teapot with lid, a sugar bowl with lid, a creamer, two teacups, and two saucers. All pieces of the tea set are made from white ceramic with a glossy glaze. The main decoration on the teapot features a blonde-haired girl in a red dress, possibly holding a watering can, surrounded by what appear to be flowers or small birds. The teacups, saucers, and creamer are adorned with smaller, simpler illustrations, possibly a single girl's head or a small figure with a butterfly. The color palette is cheerful, utilizing reds, blues, and browns against the white background. The overall style suggests a mid-20th century aesthetic, likely from the 1950s-1970s, characteristic of toy or novelty porcelain. The companion large pitcher, positioned to the left of the tea set, is also made of ceramic but has a distinct cream or off-white base color and a more textured, possibly cracked or intentionally textured, surface. It is decorated with hand-painted or decal floral motifs in shades of pink, green, and blue. While it shares a similar folk-art inspired aesthetic, its larger size and different base treatment indicate it might be a separate but complementary piece, perhaps part of a larger dinnerware set or a decorative pitcher intended for adult use. Both items appear to be in good vintage condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, though closer inspection would be required to confirm the absence of crazing or minor wear consistent with their age and material.
