London 1813 Wonderful Georgian Period Sterling Silver Full Sized Tea Set with Very Decorative Grape Vine and Leaf Decoration.

19th century
Description

London 1813 English hallmarked solid silver George III period oval form tea service. It is now over 200 years old. The maker's mark

is mainly obscured, but from what is visible, and from a very similar set sold previously, it was likely made by Solomon Hougham, a very good London maker. The rest of the hallmarks are clear, and all three pieces have identical marks. The teapot lid and silver handle have the appropriate partial silver marks. The number 130 is also marked under the teapot.

The style of this service is half fluted, with the addition of a gadrooned chase and applied edge trim with leaf and shell applied accents. On

the band above the body fluting is a lovely and delicate bright cut engraving of grapes, leaves and grape vine. The top of the teapot and the handle are also delicately bright cut engraved with interlinked bands.

All pieces stand on ball feet. The teapot has a beautiful large solid silver finial and the handle is also solid silver. The sugar bowl and milk jug retain their original gilt interiors.

Size- teapot is 11.5 inches wide

(end of spout to end of handle), by 6 inches high. Jug is 5.5 inches wide by 4.25 inches high. Sugar bowl is 8.5 inches wide by 4.75 inches high.

Weight-very good at 1375 grams or more than 44 troy ounces.

It is a lovely and unusual period service with very good weight and stylish design, in very good condition.

A lovely as well as functional service to own and use, and to keep for investment. With silver prices soaring, it makes good sense to acquire precious metals.

This item will ship from the USA to most worldwide destinations.

This three-piece Georgian sterling silver tea service dates from 1813 and includes an oval teapot, a sugar bowl, and a cream jug, all crafted in solid silver with silver-gilt interiors. The set exhibits a half-fluted style complemented by a gadrooned chase and applied edge trim with leaf and shell accents. Delicate bright-cut engraving decorates the band above the body fluting, featuring motifs of grapes, leaves, and a grapevine, while the top and handle of the teapot display interlinked bands. Each piece rests on small ball feet and incorporates scroll handles, with the teapot topped by a solid silver finial. The teapot measures 29 cm wide by 15 cm high, the sugar bowl spans 22 cm wide by 12 cm high, and the milk jug is 14 cm wide by 11 cm high. Suitable for daily use or display on a dining table or sideboard, this service offers practical utility alongside silver bullion value. The solid silver construction exhibits clear English hallmarks across all three pieces, alongside the number 130 marked beneath the teapot. The sugar bowl and milk jug retain their original gilt interiors, adding a contrasting golden tone to the silver exterior. Each component demonstrates a substantial weight totalling more than 44 troy ounces, making it both a functional dining accessory and a traditional table display for a formal setting.

FAQs

A Georgian sterling silver tea set typically comprises a teapot, sugar basin, and cream jug crafted in Great Britain between 1714 and 1837. These pieces reflect period design movements ranging from early Queen Anne simplicity to late Regency gadrooning and foliage ornamentation.

Early 19th-century tea sets were hand-hammered from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Decorative elements often incorporated hand-chased relief work, cast spouts and handles, gilt interior linings, and soldered bun feet.

Authentic British silver bears a complete set of hallmarks stamped by an assay office, including the monarchs head duty mark, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, a town mark such as the London leopards head, a makers mark, and a specific date letter.

A sterling silver tea set can be displayed on a sideboard tray, arranged as a central dining table feature, or placed within a glass cabinet to add tonal metallic contrast against wooden or marble surfaces.

Clean silver using specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, washing off residual polish with warm soapy water. Store pieces in anti-tarnish cloth bags away from direct humidity to prevent rapid oxidisation.
