As more and more Danes got more money between their hands in the early 1900's, desserts became a more common eating.

Sugar had before been a very expensive imported item and reserved for the few, but with the sugar beet being cultivated on Lolland, the sugar was suddenly a Danish domestic product and made payable.

The set is made in Germany, in mint green opal glass and is painted with enamel paint, which is burned firmly.
