Description

This wonderful little silver plated three piece tea set for one is known as a "Bachelors Tea Service" due to it's size.

This one is most unusual with an engraved Chinnoiserie decoration and the teapot spout, the teapot finial and all of the handles in faux bamboo. The handle of the teapot has two insulators to keep the handle from not getting hot when held.

The interior of the sugar and cream are lavishly gilded and all three pieces have the same mark for Lee and Wigfull of Sheffield. Dating to the late Victorian era, around 1890. Excellent condition.

The teapot measures 7 1/4" spout to handle x 4 1/4" tall; the sugar measures 5" across handle to handle x 2 3/4" tall and the creamer measures 4" spout to handle x 2 1/2" tall.
