Description
C-18038
Five-piece silverplate grouping including a tall teapot with hinged lid and finial, a covered serving dish with ornate loop handle and gadrooned edge, a handled sugar bowl, a matching creamer, and an additional open double-handled vessel. Each piece is formed in classical style with rounded bodies and flared bases, balancing both functional design and formal table presentation. The ensemble reflects the tradition of silver service popular in hotels, dining rooms, and households during the early to mid-20th century. Silverplate service ware became an affordable and widely produced alternative to sterling during the 19th and 20th centuries, with American and English firms such as International Silver, Reed & Barton, and Sheffield makers turning out durable, elegant tableware for everyday and formal occasions alike.
Shows age-appropriate wear including surface scratches, light tarnishing, and plating loss, particularly visible along handles and rims.
Covered Dish (including cover): 6.75 H x 10 Dia.
