L0BST3RF4C3's Goofy Collection of Informative Cups!

I am still missing a couple bits in my collection of the Mitterteich Bavaria clock set, the middle sized plates and the milk and sugar holders. I also really desperately oughtta test these things for lead so that I can maybe use them starting this spring.

The clock set was released as gifts with purchases of Nutroma coffee milk. They were produced in the seventies and the images and text were provided by nominated clock expert Jaap Zeeman.

This delecate clock finds its origins in England and France. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Netherlands (which were not entirely liberated/united yet) also started making lanternclocks, which strongly resembled the originals.
