I've been hunting for silverware that would be the right scale and not stupid looking.

I found some on a couple of sites that sell American Girl stuff (doll-hospital.com (not everything they list is in stock) and lovvbugg. I really am not fond of those dolls (I think they are creepy - apologies if you are a fan) but I'll gladly pillage their possessions for Things that Work).
The silverware (also comes in gold color) comes in a set of 12 pieces and in a wire basket thing. The pieces are 3 1/4" long.

The plate and blue tumbler I got off a couple of Etsy vintage sellers, and the table (too small in scale) I made.
The plate is 3 3/4" wide (I'd rather it was 3 1/4) and the tumbler is 1 1/4" across and 2" tall.

I've decided that the seat of a dining chair needs to be 6" and the table top 10" tall. Now I have to figure out how to make a dining set.

For these pictures, Amelia is sitting on a chest of drawers tipped over sideways and the table is propped up on the drawers from the chest. I have no idea what Regina is doing in the background. Probably yelling for her dinner.

Great find!

Is Amelia left handed?

Ooh, wonderful cutlery and plates.

The plates are probably butter chips or pats. My vintage (human sized) dinner plates are 9 3/4" across. So I figure 3 - 3 1/4 is good for 1/3 scale doll dishes, and that's often where butter plates fall.

I have that silverware too, it's really nice.

I love the silverware and the butter dish idea is genius! I've been looking for a nice set, but my great-grandmother's china would probably work perfectly. Thank you!

What an awesome find!!

I'm not following the 'is she left handed?'-'canadian'-bit..?

My father, Canadian, ate European/Canadian style, keeping the fork always in the left hand, not switching it to the right to bring the food to his mouth. My American mother would cut her food with the knife in her right hand, set the knife down and transfer the fork to the right, and a bite.
I eat like my dad did, which I only thought about after the 'left handed' question appeared.
