Sunbonnet Babies
Q. My aunt gave me these dishes 50 years ago. They don’t quite match, although all feature children on green grass with a blue sky above. The cake plate shows children in pinafores and bonnets washing clothes, and is marked with the Royal Bayreuth crest. The rest of the pieces show Dutch children in a landscape with windmills. They have a different mark (see sketch). They’re all china; the cups are translucent and very lightweight. Can you tell me anything about history or value?
