Today I bring you another vintage thingie mystery.
What you see here is a set of five tiny (2" square maybe) plates I picked up the Bins for I think $0.15 each. They are stamped on the back with "Mosa Maastricht Plateel." While I have been able to confirm that Mosa is a Dutch ceramics manufacturer (and they made some really cute stuff, check out the Wilma design on this page), I haven't been able to find out what year these plates are from, or even what they are intended for. The look more than anything like a children's tea party set.
So once again, I bring the question to Vintage Thingee Thursdays participants--what are these? Are they vintage, or are they just cute?

I am sorry I can't help you with any info on the little plates, but I do think they are very pretty. Have a goodday. Take care.

These are probably butter pat dishes.

My Dutch husband thinks you might not be too far off with them being from a children's tea set. He also said that Mosa split and the section that made the porcelain stuff went bankrupt a while back. I hope you can figure out what they really are, they're darling.

Not sure what they might be, but they're sweet. Everything tiny is endearing. Except bugs. Definitely not bugs.

They are delightful and I think they're definitely vintage :)
