Description

Was given to me in bad tarnished shape. I've been cleaning it , still am n it is beautiful. The silver shines bright. The 2 smaller pieces have different # of 1452. The 2 bigger pieces have the # 1451. I don't know anything about them but they sure r a fabulous set. I'm not done cleaning the big tea pot or the carrier.
