It always surprises me the toy items made in Japan for a child’s kitchen.  They were made for the mass market and not very well done.  But are they ever cute!

 I started collecting the Flower Pot kitchen utility pieces soon after I saw a little set in one of Doris Lechler’s books.     I really just wanted the reamer and a couple of the mixing bowls, but after I got started, I just couldn’t stop!

I have found 3 different Flower Pot patterns, but I’m sure there could be more. The set on the left with a flower pot in front of a picket fence.And the picture on the right shows two flower pots on steps. 

I have found two different flower pot patterns on the steps.   The pot and flowers are different. 

These two little bowls below show the other Flower Pot pattern with the little pots on steps.

 They were sold in various packing.   I’ve seen them in plain brown boxes and also wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow.

There are pancake warmers, syrup sets, shakers, trivets … and many other nice kitchen utility items.   What more could any little girl want?

I’ve listed some of these on My Vintage Toy Tea Sets website.
