Vintage Art Deco Style Sterling Silver Four-Piece Tea and Coffee Service

This exceptional vintage sterling silver tea set consists of a coffee jug, teapot, cream jug and sugar bowl.

Each piece of this fine set has a plain rectangular cushion shaped form onto a stepped collet style base with Art Deco bracket style feet.

The surface of this impressive vintage Art Deco tea set is plain and unembellished, with an applied reed decorated border to the upper portions.

The coffee jug and teapot are fitted with hallmarked hinged covers and retain the original Art Deco style painted carved wood finials; the hinge to each piece is ornamented with an applied pendant drop design.

The teapot and coffee pot are fitted with angular Art Deco style carved painted wood handles featuring a plain rounded thumbpiece to the upper plateau.

The cream jug and sugar bowl are fitted with angular Art Deco style sterling silver handles, matching the design of the teapot and coffee pot handle.

Condition
This vintage tea and coffee service is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each piece and part hallmarks to the interior of the cover of the teapot and coffee pot are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this set of vintage teaware.
