Vintage Silver-Plated Creamer and Covered Sugar Bowl Set

This is a two-piece vintage tea service set consisting of a pedestal creamer and a matching double-handled sugar bowl with a lid. The items appear to be silver-plated, characterized by a heavy iridescent oxidation or 'rainbow tarnish' across the bellied bodies, which indicates a presence of silver over a base metal. The design features a mid-20th-century aesthetic with Art Deco or Hollywood Regency influences, specifically noted by the sleek, bulbous forms and the elegant floral or foliate embossing along the flared footed bases and the rim of the sugar bowl lid. The creamer features a sharp, integrated spout with a small decorative leaf motif at the join of the handle. The sugar bowl is topped with a domed lid featuring a decorative finial. Both pieces exhibit significant surface tarnishing ranging from deep charcoal to iridescent golds and purples, which may hide minor scratches or scuffs typical of age. There are no visible dents or deep gouges in the metal, suggesting good structural integrity. While no maker's mark is visible in the image, the craftsmanship suggests a reputable mid-century manufacturer such as International Silver or Reed & Barton. The interior of the creamer shows a yellowish tint, which may be a remnants of a gold wash or further heavy tarnish.
