Regular price
$2,410.00
Presented is a wonderful quality 3 piece English sterling silver tea set. This set was made in 1875 in London, by Henry Holland. There is a tall coffee or tea pot, a gilt-interior creamer and gilt-interior sugar bowl. The teapot has a neat, invisibly hinged lid. The sugar bowl never had a lid. The pieces have fabulous matching engravings. Everything is hand engraved, and the designs are just fabulous. This is classical High Victorian style, with fine eight-point stars within acanthus leaf borders. Quatrefoil floral or vine leaf motifs are placed artfully at corners or just under the spout. The set has an empty cartouche on either side, waiting to be engraved. The set has never been monogrammed. The set is clean as can be and ready to be used.
The set is hallmarked on the underside of the teapot and near the top edge of the creamer's and sugar bowl's handle with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head for London, the duty mark of Queen Victoria's head, the date letter u for 1875, and the maker's mark HH For Henry Holland.
The teapot measures 9 1/2 from handle to spout and about 8 1/2 inches tall.
The sugar bowl measures 7 5/8 inches from handle to handle, 3 3/8 inches wide, and 4 1/2 inches tall.
The creamer measures about 5 inches from handle to spout and 4 3/4 inches tall.
The condition is excellent. There is the slightest of push-ins near the hinge of the coffeepot, but this does not affect the hinge or the joint, and the lid still sits flush. The gold wash is in great shape. There are no breaks, no cracks, no splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals and no repairs.
The combined weight of the set is 40.0 ounces or 1134 grams.
Very solid and good weight to the set!
