Child’s Cutlery Set
This is a very cute vintage child’s cutlery set. The box has a lovely picture of an elephant in a boat along with ducks and other animals. The inside of the box is decorated with a picture of an owl in a tree and a pixie next to a toadstool. The cutlery looks unused and is in excellent condition. The fork and spoon have a floral pattern on the handles and the knife has a blue, ‘Cath Kidston’ type handle. The cutlery is marked ‘stainless chromium plate, Sheffield, England’. I am not sure if the knife is the original one to the set as the handle is different but they look lovely together. It is all in excellent condition with some wear to the corners of the box and a small water mark on the front of the box. The box measures 7.6’’ x 3.6’’.
