A Sunflower Tea Set

Title

A Sunflower Tea Set

Description

This earthenware tea set consisting of a teapot, creamer and a sugar bowl used to belong to Betty Wilberger's grandparents. Each item in the set is oblong, featuring a large sunflower on each side and square brown handles. It is hard to know where this unusual set came from. The owner believes her great-grandparents brought it from Sweden when they emigrated in 1868.
