Weighty and stable, the dishes are sized and shaped for little hands, and designed to be chip-resistant. The Royal Doulton hallmark is included on the underside of each piece. Microwave and dishwasher safe. About the Bunnykins: Since its introduction in 1934, Royal Doulton's Bunnykins dinnerware has made mealtimes more delightful for children. The handsome design, vivid coloration, and superior materials combine to make Bunnykins an heirloom long after a little one outgrows the diminutive sizing. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, each piece depicts the playful Bunnykins family at a different activity, but the specific characters and motifs will vary. Bunnykins has been a favorite line of the English china company, Royal Doulton, since 1934. Bunnykins china was used by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret and thus became a popular present given as christening and birthday gifts in middle-class English homes. The chinaware line originated with artwork by Mary Barbara Bailey, the daughter of Cuthbert Bailey, general manager of Doulton during the 1930s.
