Each piece of this antique teaware set is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The original box is in excellent presentation condition.

The chased ornamentation is all very sharp and the bright cut engraved crests are very crisp.

The original gilding has wear in keeping with age.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the bowl and reverse surface of the sifter spoon bowl are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of Victorian silverware.
