    I made an error in the description. There are actually 49 pieces when you include the plates. These are the actual dishes included: 2 large plates (9.5" diameter), 14 medium plates (9” diameter), 1 oval bowl (9.5"L x 7.25"W), 8 handled cups (6 are dated 1953, 2 are 1952), 1 2-handled stock pot (4.5" height), 1 salt shaker, 1 pepper shaker, 1 sugars shaker, 4 can openers, 1 large spoon, 5 medium spoons, 2 small spoons, 4 knives, 4 forks.
