$3,000.00
Gorgeous fine Silver tea set. Antique 1840's New York silversmith( marks say B & S), tested solid silver. All hand raised, chased and repoussed. Intricate grape pattern on the body, branches as handles, spout and lids. Very good condition. Out of an estate on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusettes. This set would make an amazing wedding or engagement gift or for the fine silver collector.
The teapot stands almost 12" tall and is 10" wide, large master sugar bowl with lid is 10" tall and 9 1/2" wide, creamer is 8 1/4" tall by 6 1/2" wide. I do not have a metals scale so the weight here is from a food scale...1794 grams. This is an exceptional silver collectors set and a piece of New England history it is NOT scrap! Engraved on one side MT Greer and on the other side CE Greer so I think it was a wedding set. Will ship very well packed and insured.
Most of my items come out of estates on Martha's Vineyard and some from other places in New England. The island of Martha's Vineyard where I have lived for the past 18 years is home to many old original families of sea captains and sailors so fascinating things come up when there are estate sales. Please check my other listings. I am putting up a large collection of glassware, china, linens and postcards that I have gotten over the years out of these estates. I try to do a lot of research and give good descriptions but I am not an expert in everything so please ask questions or if you know something about a piece and are willing to add your input into my listings please contact me!
I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items if possible. I will ship internationally but please contact me for the shipping cost before bidding. 6.25% sales tax on bidders from Massachusettes. Please check my other new listings over the next couple of days. Returns are welcome if item is not as described, refund for item cost only. I take very detailed photos and give good descriptions. Please see all pics and enlarge to see details. Ask me any questions before purchasing.
