Rare Reed & Barton Figural Face Silver Plated Tea Coffee set Italian Renaissance

  

I only have 3 pieces of this tea set. Ironically, the coffee pot, then the creamer and sugar bowl.

They're in good condition. No wear to the plating. The coffee pot has one shallow dent in the side that is hard to even make out. I haven't really been able to find much information about this teaset pattern.

However, the coffee pot has this fabulous Green Man / wood sprite style face on the spout. I've read that Reed and Barton had a flatware / hollowware line called "Italian" that had similar faces on it. However, I don't think this set is terribly old. Probably post-1940, because of the condition and just the style of the casting on the details. It is marked on the bottom of these pieces MFD [manufactured] AND PLATED BY REED & BARTON 20. The mark is faintly struck and is hard to read in person, much less in the photos. The coffee pot is 10 ¾" tall, 7" spout to opposite handle, and about 5 wide at the bulb at the bottom.

The creamer is 3 ½" tall, 4" handle to opposite side, and 3 ¼ wide around the bulb. It does have a few deep nicks in the handle, like someone struck a knife blade against it. The sugar bowl is in very good condition. No major dents, nicks, etc. Inside is in good condition.

It measures 5 ¾" wide across the handles, about 4" across the bulb, and 5 tall. I have a Simpson Hall & Miller waste or sugar bowl that has a similar puffed rib detail that came with this set & matches rather nicely, if you're interested in a fourth piece.
