Coffee for one is considered fuel for the day, but coffee for two is something entirely different: the exchange of confidences, sharing of ideas, and the plotting of conspiratorial adventures and schemes. What could be better to facilitate such occasions than this spectacular Antique English Silverplate & Porcelain Coffee & Tea Service by the noted artisans of Thomas White silversmiths of Sheffield, England?
Complete with a set of silverplate coffee and tea pots (or tea and hot water if you prefer!), in addition to a petite milk jug and sugar bowl resting within their very own designated cavities on a matching tray, this striking service also includes a pair of handsome demitasse-style cups and saucers from the renowned English potters at Royal Doulton. Dating from the 1920's, this splendid pair of cups with their sunny yellow rimmed saucers, promises to elevate sipping your favorite beverage to an art.
With its cozy sleigh-like silhouette, raised on proud bun feet, the grand tray is sure to make a luxurious statement when presented on the breakfast table, employed for after-dinner coffee or cajoled into service for an intimate nightcap. Four circular cavities incorporated within the surface hold the gleaming silver pieces in place to ensure easy transport to your final destination, while hinged lids on the pots make quick work of filling and help to keep the tray tidy and streamlined.
Each individual silverplated component shimmers and shines as coffee and tea are served. With a design that incorporates exquisitely woven, cane-covered handles to protect delicate hands while serving steaming beverages and prominent grips on the milk jug and sugar bowl, no detail or consideration has been left to chance. We are confident this splendidly luxurious service will bring the romance and elegance of European coffee and tea culture wherever it is employed. Sure to generate all manner of stimulating conversation and juicy confidences, this majestic Silverplate Service promises to serve with distinction for decades to come.
