Rare Antique Elkington Demitasse & Liqueur Six Person Service – 1920

This stylish and unusual Six Person Elkington silver-plated service is a superb example of early-20th-century British design. Complete with a purpose-made silver-plated stand, it includes six fine porcelain demitasse cups with gilt handles and six clear glass liqueur or shot glasses, all neatly arranged in a two-tiered format.

The elegant tiered stand is formed from a silver-plated wire frame with sculptural loops that securely cradle the cups and glasses. It features a central handle for easy carrying and serving. Each saucer is removable and supports either a porcelain coffee cup or glass shot glass, allowing the set to function beautifully for either after-dinner espresso service or liqueur presentation.

This set bears the stamp of Elkington & Co, one of Britain’s most respected silver plate manufacturers, and is marked with the date letter ‘I’ for the year 1920.

Measurements:

Height: 8 1/4" (approx. 21cm)

Diameter: 11 1/2" (approx. 29cm)

Total weight: 1362g

In good condition – The silver plating remains bright with only minimal signs of wear consistent with age. No chips or cracks to the porcelain or glass cups. The stand is stable and solid, and all holders fit perfectly.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***

Dear customers,

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be on vacation from Saturday, 22nd August 2026 through to Wednesday, 26th August 2026, so the shop will be closed during this time.

If you have an order already in process, please rest assured I’ll be keeping a close eye on any messages relating to it - and I’ll address any issues as soon as I can. Items are still available to purchase, and all new orders received while I’m away will be processed promptly when the shop reopens on Wednesday, 26th August 2026.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Warmest wishes,
