Long Description
There are five pieces and one lid - it seems one lid is missing, for the smaller bowl. There is a creamer and two tea pots. One pot is taller than the other. There are two very similar pieces that I assume are sugar bowls, one is slightly smaller than the other, and the smaller is missing its lid.
The set has a sort of Grecian flair to it. It is not particularly ornate, and is kind of masculine - but very beautiful. All pieces have an engraved letter B, although I guess that's neither here nor there. On the handles of the tea pots there are two black bands - I'm not sure what theyre made of, possibly enamel. The lids on the tea pots are hinged, they do not come off.
