This was an accessory set offered up online. They're made in Australia and distributed and sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and likely throughout Asia. A gentleman on the Sixth Division board was kind enough to order several cases and sold them to people at a very reasonable price and considering these were fetching $25 plus at Ebay I bought one. You don't get to much but, the quality is quite good. Here are my impressions:

Tea coffee pot and cups:
You get one pot and three cups. My British troops should be happy. The quality is very nice, the color is of white with green trim, with china white on the inside. The cups are the same color. I must say these are nicer than Dragon's cups where they're compared head to head. Rating: *****

Assorted liquor:
Unfortunately you only get three types of liquor, a bottle of cognac, a bottle of red wine and a bottle of what appears to be house wine perhaps. All are beautifully sculpted (the bottom of each bottle is like the 1:1 version). They're labeled as well, and look as if they have liquid in them. These are great additions to any diorama, and do look better than the cheap refrigerator magnets, which do work but don't look as good. Rating: ****
Lantern:
Nice and I suppose more detailed than the Coleman ones and a bit older looking. It's green, and does look nice and have several moving pieces. Rating: ****
Bucket:
It appears to have some metal parts, but its not to heavy, it appears a bit to big, but there is not exactly a standard bucket size that I'm aware of. This would probably look good with a tank, although I saw a rather humorous diorama with a soldier who had his feet in it, drinking the bottle of wine. Overall a good bucket, great for vehicles. Rating: ***
Final Rating: ***
A nice set, although it could come with a few more items, is not bad for under 20, considering what the Yellow submarine sets went for.

Packaging: *
A simple yellow box.

Accessories: ***
Very nice, the lantern and bucket are quite, nice as are the tea pot and mugs and liquor bottles.
Playability:
Price: **
At the $25 plus these were fetching on ebay I wouldn't buy one, but some might. I got mine for $16 shipped, and I feel it was worth it.
