Seven Dwarfs Kitchenware Set (Treasure Craft)

From the mid 1980s until about 1998, kitchenware manufacturer Treasure Craft was owned by the Pfaltzgraff Company, and it was circa 1995-97 that they released a series of ceramic items featuring all seven of the dwarfs. The figures included Bashful & Sneezy (salt and pepper shakers), Dopey (cookie jar), Happy (utensil holder), Grumpy (spoon rest), Sleepy (trivet), and Doc (teapot). A 14" Snow White cookie jar was also produced (seen in next post). All sold separately.
