A Collection of Silver and Silver-Plated Metalware Including a Tea Set and Serving Pieces - A mixed group of six metalware items comprising a tea and coffee service, a pair of salts, and serving bowls. The collection includes a circular silver-plated basket with a flared rim and a twisted-wire swing handle; the interior is decorated with a large naturalistic engraving depicting birds and butterflies among floral sprays and foliage. Also present is a polished metal teapot with a compressed globular body, a hinged domed lid, and a dark C-scroll handle, alongside a tall baluster-form hot water or coffee jug featuring a wicker-wrapped handle. A pair of open salt cellars with gadrooned rims are each supported on three stylized hoof feet. Completing the group is a wide, shallow circular basin with a reinforced rim. Marks and hallmarks are not visible on the surfaces shown in the images; the metallic composition appears to be a mix of silver-plated copper and polished white metal based on visible surface wear.
