This tea service is from the National Silver Company. It includes the teapot, sugar bowl, and cream pitcher. It is made of silverplate and is circa 1890s.<p>

The set is in a Grecian pattern in shape and pattern. It has a classical "Federal"-appearing style with Doric lines. These lines ring the top and bottom of each piece.<p>

The teapot is 7 1/2 inches high, including the final on the top of the lid (and 5 1/2 inches without). It has a 4 7/8-inch base. It measures 3 1/4 inches across the top and 8 inches from the edge of the lip to the end of the handle. The double-handled sugar bowl is 3 1/2 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches from handle to handle. It is 2 1/2 inches across the top and has a 3 1/2-inch base. The cream pitcher is 3 1/4 inches tall and measures 4 1/2 inches from the edge of the lip to the end of the handle. It has a 3-inch base.<p>

All of the pieces have ornately designed attached handles in a harp shape. The handles are wider at the base than the top and feature "thumbholds" on the top. The teapot has a paramecium-shaped final on the top and a swan's neck curved panelled spout.<p>

These pieces are in very good condition for their age, with no dents. The metal in the pieces is a minimum of 1/8-inch thick. Although they show some wear to the silverplate on the bottom, that is to be expected with their age.<p>

The bottom of each piece shows "NS Co/851".<p>

This set will make a great addition to an old silverplate collection!<p>
