(4) British Tested Sterling Tea and Coffee Set - 50.9 ozt. Lot of four sterling silver coffee and tea serving items, including coffee pot, tea pot, sugar bowl, and creamer. With British hallmarks. Marked and testing sterling silver.
Tea sets, with their coordinated elegance and ritualistic charm, have long symbolized hospitality, refinement, and the art of conversation. Traditionally comprising a teapot, sugar bowl, creamer, and matching cups and saucers—often accompanied by a serving tray—tea sets were central to social customs from Victorian parlors to Japanese tea ceremonies. Crafted in materials ranging from fine porcelain and bone china to sterling silver, their designs reflect cultural aesthetics and historical shifts in taste, from ornate Rococo flourishes to sleek modern minimalism. Beyond their functional use, tea sets evoke a sense of ceremony and warmth, transforming the simple act of serving tea into a shared, cherished experience.
