This is a Heavy High Quality Oriental Tea &/or Coffee Set from the 18-19 century. It is all HAMMERED COPPER ON SILVER. This set is very well HANDCRAFTED (manual stamping) & very intricate detail design. Each of the pitchers have a silver chain that holds the lids on. The pour spouts are all in coin silver & are nicely detailed. The topper, lid, handle & base are outlined in silver as well. The handle is an oriental serpent, held on by hammered copper pins. It is hard to truly date these pieces as there is not a name or marker on any one piece. However, the bottom of each piece is tinned to prevent leakage, meaning the tea set must be from the late 18th - early 19th century (this is a specialist's opinion).

The set contains 3 different sized pitchers, one for tea, coffee & hot water. Lg measures 9 by 9 1/2", holds 6 cups, Med measures 7 1/2" by 7 1/2" holds 4 cups, & the Small water pitcher measures 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" holds about 2 cups. Then there is a sugar bowl measuring 5" tall by 3" wide. Thank you for looking, bidding & Good Luck!!!
