More Borrowed Pictures of Old Toys “Madamme Blue”
I am in love with these exquisite samples of old kitchens belonging to my friend Dorthe Lohmann. She has collected the small items over an extended period at markets. Some were given her by older relatives.

The enamelled kitchenware are German, and some are Danish of the make “Glud & Marstrand” from about 1910. The stove is younger from about the thirties, and the make is Tekno.

Dorthe and her husband have created the cupboards and shelves. At Christmas time Dorthe decorates it for Christmas, and the dolls will be baking cakes.
Please have a look!

My favourite shade of blue. I’m always amazed by the amount of work and care that goes into making and assembling these beautiful miniature collections. Thanks for sharing. x

Oh my! What a collection. They look so preciously authentic and I remember those images from years and years ago (vaguely!) when I was a little child. We don’t get to see these things that often these days.

You are right. I go to every toy museum I come across, and they are few! My friend’s collection of old toys are nicer put together than any thing else. Though in Prague I found something too where every thing matches style and colour

I will tell Dorthe of what you write here. She will be so pleased. She has a very distinct taste. I don’t know if I use the right expression.
