Possible future profession: vintage design detective
Sometimes I ask myself what I'm really very good at in life, and though I usually can come up with a few things, let's say those aren't necessarily the things that are extremely valuable for being a productive member of modern society. But lately I realized I do have one skill that may be successfully transferable to other parts of life as well: I'm pretty good at playing online detective when it comes to finding out more about vintage designs that I like, but don't know anything about. Like with my cute breakfast set that didn't have any identification mark... I received some questions about that one, and Sarah told me about her similar set, and wondered if they could be from the same series. Seeing her similar but different set made me more curious about the origin of these sets, so I started doing some simple online research. What I know now is that there were at least a boy and a girl set (and maybe also a clown set? Cause my boy isn't wearing the same outfit as the boy below, but a polkadot suit similar to the one the clown on my other mug is wearing, so maybe my assumed set in fact is a mis-match) that they were made by a Korean firm called Interpur, and that one complete boy set like the one below is currently for sale on etsy!
So I'm pretty sure now that I have one of the sets made by Interpur, but that still leaves the origin of Sarah's (incomplete) similar but different set a mystery. And since even famous tv detectives always have smart helpers, your suggestions to resolve this rather stirring mystery are still very welcome!
