Smart four-piece Victorian antique silver tea and coffee set. Each piece is hand chased and engraved with acanthus leaf aprons, fine fluting around the base of the body, and an elegant bead pattern rim. The hinged covers of the silver tea and coffee pots have cast and applied entwined flowerhead and detachable finials, while the interiors of the milk jug and sugar bowl are gilded. Both silver pots pour perfectly.
The dimensions given are for the silver coffee pot and the total weight of the set is 39.93 troy oz (1242g).

A silver tea or coffee pot pours like no other and sterling silver is the perfect material for making them:
· No other material can be fashioned into such elegant and detailed forms, reflect light as beautifully, and a perfectly formed silver tea or coffee pot spout will never drip.
· Second only to diamonds, silver has the highest thermal conductivity of any material, meaning that tea leaves can be brewed at a higher temperature than in any other teapot, allowing the tea leaves to fully release their flavours.
· That same high thermal conductivity means a silver tea or coffee pot will retain heat and keep tea hot for much longer.
· Unlike porcelain and ceramic teapots, silver is sturdy and long-lasting, does not shatter and the occasional dent can be debruised.
