An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Dutch silver three piece tea service; part of our silver teaware collection

Each piece of this antique silver tea set has an oval rounded form.


The body of each piece is plain and unembellished, with applied reed decorated borders to the upper and lower portions.

The teapot retains the original, fine and impressive C shaped carved wood handle with plain silver sockets.


The cream jug is fitted with an angular silver handle and the basket retains the original swing handle, each embellished with further reed decoration.


The teapot is fitted with a plain tapering spout.


The underside of each piece of this Dutch silver tea set include:

This tea service has the same credentials and is crafted in the same style as the tea caddy C7729 and would all sit well together.


* This mark was used as an export tax mark on old Netherlands hallmarked items returning to the market.

Each component has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

The interior of each piece has been professionally cleaned and is ready for use.
