Toy Kitchen
This toy kitchen features over 150 miniature reproductions of various kitchen utensils of wood, metal, and ceramics, all housed in a three-sided kitchen setting. The origin of this piece is unclear. Recently, it has been suggested that it could have come from Germany, as it closely resembles the toy kitchens once made in Nuremburg. On the other hand, it may have had an American origin because it was found near Hudson, New York.
