A CHILD's TEA SET AND DOLL FROM TUNISIA

During Lockdown I have been sorting through some of my stored away items, and I came across this lovely dolls pottery tea set which I purchased from a stall on a large salt lake at Chott Djerid, Southern Tunisia, in 1994.
To give you an idea of the size, the cups are approximately 1" high, the plates, approximately 2" in diameter, and the teapot is 3" high.

I also purchased this lovely hand made mother and child doll from the same stall.

The mother is 10" high.  The body of the lady is a piece of wood padded round with rag.  The arms are made in the same way.  The features are embroidered.  The child doll is made in the same way.

Thank you all for your patience.

A CORONAVIRUS UPDATE for the U.K. 

The United Kingdom is still in "Lockdown" but it is due to be reviewed on Thursday, 28th. May.  We have been in "Lockdown" for nine weeks.  Although England has relaxed their rules, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have not, so we still have to "stay at home", and only go out for essentials, such as groceries, and Doctors appointments etc.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well!  Hopefully life will be back to normal, with no signs of the virus, very soon.
