Description

THIS TEA SET WAS A GIFT TO MY PARENTS IN 1958 FROM A WEALTHY AUNT WHO SAID IT WAS ALREADY AN ANTIQUE. IN THE ATTACHED PICTURES YOU CAN SEE THE AWESOME DETAIL IN EACH PIECE, ALONG WITH THE SET BEING IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. NO BLEMISHES OF ANY KIND ON ANY PIECE. THE SET HAS NEVER BEEN USED ONLY DISPLAYED IN GLASS CASE SINCE MY PARENTS GOT IT. WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE HISTORY AND VALUE OF THE SET.
