The TOMY Smaller Homes and Gardens Kitchen
The Tomy Smaller Homes and Gardens kitchen is perhaps the best example of
the quality and attention to detail that Tomy employed when they designed
this dollhouse furniture. All the pieces in this collection are in Very Nice
to Good condition and would be marvelous for any appropriately scaled doll
house.
First we have the sink/dishwasher unit. The triple sink is
set into a gorgeous wood grain countertop. The single control faucet is
intact and swivels. The dishwasher opens to reveal two baskets ready to be
loaded. There is some slight paint loss in the chrome-bright trim. Each door
under the countertop opens to reveal an interior shelf. There are three
drawers that open. The dimensions of the piece (in inches) are 5 inches
long, 4 1/8 inches high, and 1 5/8 inches deep.
Next is the countertop range unit. The range top is set into
the wood grain countertop. The detail is absolutely amazing on the four
burners, the controls, and the built-in grill. Above is a two vent range
hood. Below the countertop are four drawers and double doors that each open
to reveal an interior shelf. Its dimensions are 5 inches wide, 1 1/2 inches
deep and 4 1/8 inches tall.
The side-by-side refrigerator is a 1:18 scale detailed replica of the
real thing! On the freezer door is an ice dispenser. The chrome-like handles
are in beautiful condition. On the back of the fridge you can even see
detailing of the coils and other components. Inside the fridge are shelves
in both doors, fridge, and freezer. On the refrigerator side are two crisper
drawers that are removable. There is also a pull-out bin on the freezer
side. The dimensions are 2 1/4 inches wide, 1 1/2 inches deep and 4 inches
tall.
A round pedestal table and four cane-like seat chairs. The table has a
lovely wood grain top. One of the feet of the table's base has been slightly
stressed, giving it a tiny wobble. The chairs are have no cracks or stress
marks. Also in this auction are two napkins, two plates and two placemats.
All the pieces are in very good condition with the noted flaws.
