The black spots are reflections and not on the tea set. This listing is for a Victorian art nouveau 6 piece tea set which was manufactured by The Reed & Barton Silver Company during the early 1900's.
The tea set features a delicate design of repousse apple blossoms and branches on each piece as can be seen in the pictures. The set may have been re-silvered at one time though I can't be positive. There are no monograms or dents, and the inside of each piece is clean and usable and there are no visible repairs. The set consists of Coffee pot standing 7.25 inches tall and measures 8.75 inches wide, teapot measuring 5.75 inches tall by 9.5 inches wide, waste pot stands 3.5 inches tall by 5.25 inches wide, covered sugar stands 5 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide, creamer 3.25 inches tall by 5.5 inches wide and the double handled tea caddy or spoon holder standing 3 3/8 inches tall by 6 inches wide.
