I: 4500: CHINA COFFEE SERVICES.

Wherever one looks in the Queen's Dolls' House, one is struck by the infinite pains taken to ensure accuracy and artistic effect in every item from the greatest to the least. The china and glass are no exception and the Coffee Services shown in the picture are worthy, by reason of their beautiful style and colouring, of a place in this most famous miniature mansion.
