Yes, Christine, the units are correct.

I initially used the term 'toy' rather than small in the same sense that half-size children's china teasets would normally be regarded as 'toy' or play sets .

The 'miniature' pieces produced to furnish dolls houses are usually much smaller (often 1: 12 or 1:24 scale) but they are usually not produced for use as toys or play items but for use by dedicated minaiturists or collectors.

Lustrousstone:
I wasn't thinking doll's house but they still seem quite large for toy. You could be right though

Anne:
Thanks Fred, much appreciated. I'm wondering if these were intended as junior miss type pieces rather than full adult ones? The sort of things an older girl/young teen may have been given as she starts to grow up? There are similarly small sized ones in Sowerby's range (Maid and Junior coming to mind.)

Lustrousstone:
That makes more sense than toy as such

agincourt17:
I agree.

Would you like to change the topic heading to something more appropriate, Anne?
