Lot Description

1930's silver four piece tea service, comprising coffee pot, teapot, sugar basin and cream jug, each piece of plain oblong shape with canted corners, angular handles and each raised above four stylised paw feet, the tea and coffee pots with ebonised handles and finials to hinged covers.  Hallmarked Britton, Gould & Co., Birmingham 1935.  Maximum teapot length measures 12 1/4 inches (31 cm), gross combined weight 62.32 ozt (1938.6 grams).

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All four pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.   Some heavier tarnishing to some areas, especially on the tea and coffee pots, also deeper scratches to some areas and various minor nicks and surface dints and pitting marks.  Many of the solder joins are visible and the seam lines on the two spouts are clearly visible, on the coffee pot this is starting to develop into a minor split on one edge.  Both ebonised handles are loose in their mounts, especially the teapot handle.  Hinged covers are in working order, finial to coffee pot is likely to be a replacement as it is not conforming in shape.  The hallmarks appear slightly rubbed in places, especially the maker's marks, but all are still legible.
