REED & BARTON 3 PC SP TEA SERVICE C:1876 REPOUSSE FLORAL DESIGN GILT FINISH

Description

We are offering for your consideration an exquisite, Reed& Barton, silver plated, 3-piece service. There is a notation that the patent for the pattern, “2765” was applied for on Feb. 1, 1876. It is also noted the pieces were manufactured and plated by Reed & Barton in an age when various companies bought blanks from Reed & Barton to silver plate with their own hallmarks attached. The creamer and sugar have a gilt finish on the inside signifying this was a high end service manufactured by the company. The service measures the following:
**Hinged Teapot measures 11.50 inches high and 9 inches wide from handle to spout.
**Uncovered Sugar Bowl measures 5.75 inches high at the handles and 6 inches wide between the two handles.
**Creamer measures 7 inches at the highest point on the handle and 5.75 inches wide between the handle and spout.
The pieces are enhanced with lovely bands in a repousse pattern along the top and bottom of the pieces. A pretty swag of flowers and leaves is etched around the pieces. The elongated handles and spouts are embossed with various leaves and flowers. The four feet are decorated with an embossed design of three Zinnia flowers growing from a leafy stem. The high domed cover on the teapot is topped with an urn shaped finial holding a floral rendering. There is a monogram on the bottom of each piece that looks more like a stylized design than an initial. Definitely Reed & Barton at its best. T
he service is in
EXCELLENT READY TO USE ESTATE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE.
There are no repairs, flaking or silver wear to note. The insides are clean and the gilting on the creamer and sugar is intact. A lovely antique service not often found that will add elegance to those special dinners and holiday settings.
