Long Description
This was given to me by the son of a woman I took care of back in 2001. When she passed away he gave this to me. She purchased this 5 piece silver tea set (6 pieces if you include the lid on the sugar bowl) not long after she was married. This set is in fantastic condition! There is one little dent (about the size of pencil tip) on the coffee pot. There is also a dent (believed to have been done during manufacturing) on the leg of the creamer pot. The leg is pushed in slightly but does not effect the balance of the pot..it still sits level. No other dents or inperections seen on the set. (I would think of this as mint condition other then the 2 little dents) There is gorgeous detail work on the platter of this set.Â
History
