High quality Victorian 4-piece silver tea and coffee set

This is a quite superb high quality 4-piece Victorian tea and coffee set by the top class silversmiths Martin, Hall & Co. The set comprises Coffee pot, teapot, cream jug and sugar bowl. The set is designed with half reeded circular bodies with a plain band surmounted by a band of beautiful leaf engraving and high beaded shoulders, and leaf capped reeded handles. The hinged covers of the teapot and coffee pot have an applied rosette band and silver finials with a leaf surround. The teapot and coffee pot have ivory thermal inserts. The interiors of the cream jug and coffee pot are gilt. Condition: Virtually perfect. There are no dents or splits and no scratching to the plain surfaces. There is a slight raised mark on the interior of the lid of the teapot. This might have been original or is possibly an old repair. It doesn’t show on the upper side of the lid and I think it’s of little consequence, but should be mentioned. The hinges of the coffee pot and tea pot are perfect and the lids open and close perfectly and precisely. The pins where the thermal inserts are attached to the handles are all in place and the handles are perfectly firm. The coffee pot and teapot are perfectly clean inside.
