This is for a 4 piece Antique Victorian Silverplate hollowware tea and coffee set. These are from Meriden Britannia. These lovely pieces have a silverplate - ivory type finish.

They are decorated with chased flowers and leaves. The lids have a flower while the foot has intricate open cuts, making these very unusual pieces. This pattern is number 3100 per research, altho items are not marked that I can see.

The Meriden Britannia company was founded in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut. In 1898 the company became part of International Silver Company. Meriden Britannia Company designs are included in many museums collections as they are such an integral part of USA silver plate history along with the unique designs they produced. Their pieces are highly collectible and hard to find esp in good condition as they can date as far back as 171 years! I placed this set on the very lovely tray from Reed and Barton which is a very solid lovey designed tray and added a Gorham flower basket.

The basket is perfect for a floral arrangement to holding napkins to perhaps candies. 1 - Coffee Pot measuring: 12.5" x 10" x 6. 1 - Tea Pot measuring: 11" x 10" x 6.

1 - Lidded sugar Bowl measuring: 9.5" x 5" x 5 (small wear on front of the pot). 1 - Waste Pot measuring: 8" x 6" (has a small replaced final). 1 - Tray from Reed and Barton in the Winthrop pattern #1795. Measuring: 30" x 21" x 2. 1 - Gorham Basket measuring: 10" x 9.5" x 7.5 (has small monogram on top of the handle).

All items are vintage and if more then normal age appropriate use / condition issues - then it will shown in the listing / pictures. I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.

I take all my own pictures in my home and as such try and get all the colors as true to correct as possible. Please let me know if need any addition pictures or clarification on the pictures I have posted. Remember most items will show wear. Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear. Remember vintage items have been used and will have small issues like surface scratches and age appropriate wear. I will show any major issues in my pictures as they are part of the description.

I STRONGLY believe in reusing and repurposing of mailing materials, thus your item maybe packed in a previously used box and/or wrapped with previously used materials.
