Type: Tea/ Coffee Pots & Sets,Age: 1833-1843,Region: United Kingdom,Maker: Thomas Wimbush & Henry Hyde, Joseph & Albert Savory,Composition: Sterling Silver,Year Made: 1833-1843,Country of Origin: United Kingdom Presented is a fine English sterling silver three piece tea set. The creamer and sugar were made in 1833 by Thomas Wimbush & Henry Hyde, while the teapot was made in 1843 by Joseph & Albert Savory. Despite this, the tea set is all done in the same style and matches perfectly. The pieces are done in a flattened round-bodied form, with a band of reeded decoration around the midpoint. The handle of the creamer and the handles of the sugar have decorative leaf form thumbpieces. The pieces are sturdy and well made, with thick, heavy gauge silver. The teapot has a finely engraved armorial crest with three roosters and three suns, while the sugar and creamer have no crests or monograms whatsoever. The set consists of: Teapot-- Measures about 11 1/2 inches spout to handle and 5 inches tall. Capacity of 5 1/2 cups (44 fluid ounces/1.3 liters) Sugar bowl-- Measures about 7 1/2 inches from handle to handle, and 3 1/2 inches tall. Creamer-- Stands about 3 3/8 inches tall. The teapot is hallmarked on the underside with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head for the city of London, the date letter h for 1843, the duty mark of Queen Victoria's head, and the maker's mark for Joseph & Albert Savory. The sugar and creamer are hallmarked on the underside with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head for the city of London, the date letter S for 1833, the duty mark of King George IV's head, and the maker's mark for Thomas Wimbush & Henry Hyde. The tea set is in great overall condition. The sugar bowl looks like it has had a dent professionally removed, but this is very hard to notice, especially from the outside. There are a few minor dings here and there, but nothing excessive. There are no dents, no splits, no leaks, no monogram removals, and no repairs. The total weight for the set is 1332 grams or 47 regular ounces.
