ALL PIECES ARE FORMED IN A WONDERFUL ' SQUARED ' SHAPE, WITH SUPERBLY DEFINED & VERY BOLD CORNERS.
IT IS ALMOST OF AN 'ART DECO' STYLE, DUE TO ITS CLEAN, SMOOTH LINES & LACK OF ORNAMENT. HOWEVER, IT FROM A PERIOD BEFORE THAT MOVEMENT TOOK PLACE. THIS SET WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY, CIRCA 1900.
EACH IS DECORATED IN A MINIMALISTIC MANNER. WITH ORNAMENTAL 'GADROON' BORDERS TO THE UPPER RIM OF EACH PIECE.
THAT IS IT IN TERMES OF DECORATION. ALL FOUR SIDES OF EVERY PIECE ARE CLEAN & SMOOTH. REFLECTING THE WORLD AROUND THEM SUPERBLY WELL.
EACH HAS A MATCHING 'SQUARED' HANDLE FITTED. THE TEAPOT & WATER JUG HANDLES ARE MADE FROM CARVED EBONY WOOD, WHEREAS THE MILK & SUGAR ARE MADE FROM ELECTRO PLATE, BUT STILL OF THE SAME SHAPE & STYLE.
TO THE BASE OF ALL 4 ITEMS ARE FANTASTIC 'BUTRESS' SHAPED FEET.
ADDING TO THE WONDERFUL 'SQUARE' AURA GIVEN OFF BY THIS MOST STUNNING OF SETS.
NOT ONLY HAVE THEY STAYED COMPLETE EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, EACH HAS ALSO STAYED IN THE MOST STUNNING CONDITION TOO.
THE INSIDES OF EVERY PIECE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN & FRESH.
THE ORIGINAL CLOTH STRAINING BAG IS STILL PRESENT IN THE LID OF THE WATER JUG, MEANING THAT IT COULD ALSO ACT AS A COFFEE POT TOO. WONDERFUL.
THE SILVERED SURFACES SHINE BEAUTIFULLYUPON ALL ITEMS & THERE IS NO DAMAGE OR REPAIRS AT ALL. JUST A WONDERFUL, ANTIQUE TEA SERVICE OF A VERY GRAND SHAPE & STYLE.
