All Chiquita sets were manufactured by the Alley
Agate Co ( a competitor of the Akro Agate Co ) for
distribution by the J . Pressman Co . For that reason
many ( not all ) pieces were embossed on the base
with
a " J P " . Chiquita is traditionally known as a
SMALL SIZED Children's set ( meaning no bowls or
sugar lid were ever made for these sets ) . There are
larger sized sets also marked with an embossed " J P "
as seen in pictures 5 and 6 . These sets are NOT
Chiquita sets , and are known as " J P " ,
" Plain Jane " , " Little Orphan Annie " , and "
Ribbed
Plain Jane " sets . Pictures 5 and 6 show examples
of the larger similar sets that are also embossed with
" J P " , but are NOT the CHIQUITA pattern .
