No one's mentioned the doll's doll!
Re: Cups and Ball
Those cups on a stick are used for an old game of pitch and catch. Probably used a rubber ball. It took skill to throw or pitch the ball with that stick and to catch it. Worked better with high ceilings like my grandfather's house or outside of course.
That doll's gotta go!
I love the toy chamberpot next to the bed! I suppose the equivalent to having a toy toilet in a modern doll house.
Sarah, Christine, Sharron
Yep, they're all here!
Height
I hope they have a pedestal to reach the china.
Treasure trove
The items in the picture are of a style that dates them to about the 1830s - about 100 years old when the photo was taken. Yet it all looks brand new.
Ready for Julian
The water boiling hot and sugar cookies almost done, Cissy, Gertrude and Emily waited excitedly for today's tea party guest, Lady Eltinge of Hollywood.
Play ball
The objects on the floor in the left corner appear to be a version of the Ball in Cup game. However there is only one ball, and it is not tethered to either of the cups. Perhaps some kind of juggling game?
Cups and Ball
Are those things in the foreground the game where you catch the ball in a cup on a stick?
Gotta love the tiny chamberpot next to the bed, thankfully it's empty.
