Why are there pieces of Miniature Glass?
Miniature Glass or Childrens Glass made excellent gifts for young girls. The pieces come in forms such as creams, sugars, spooners, butter dishes, banana stands, cake stands, mugs, as well as candlesticks. Childrens Glass was used to train your daughter how to properly set a table. She would learn by setting her own table while she observed her Mother doing the same for anticipated company or family dining. For example if Mother was having a tea party, her daughter would set up a table to entertain her dolls and teddy bears. Mother would cut up fruit for the banana stand and perhaps a cupcake for her cake stand. Childrens Mugs in graduating sizes were used for children to learn to drink from a vessel at the table. Childrens Candlesticks were also used to help the daughter to learn how to set a table.
