This is a fantastic Large and Heavy Antique Solid Silver Victorian 3 Piece Teaset. It has a half reeded pattern to the bottom halves of each piece and then a very decorative bright cut engraved pattern of flowers, leaves and scrolls around the top half. Each item also has a bright cut half flower in the centre of each side in the top plain border. There is also a blank shaped cartouche to each side of each item. The teapot has a small shell capped pattern to the handle and the lid also has a bright cut pattern around it and a decorative finial. The spout has the half reeded pattern to the base of it. The two handled sugar bowl and the milk jug have gilt interiors so it oozes quality. This set is made from a good guage of silver and has clear hallmarks.

Please also see my paragraph below regarding additional photographs
