Mid-20th Century Sterling Silver or Silver-Plated Tea and Coffee Service Ensemble

This set is an elegant mid-20th-century silver-toned tea and coffee service, appearing to be crafted from either sterling silver or high-quality silver plate. The collection consists of approximately eight pieces: a coffee pot, a teapot, a hot water pitcher, a cream jug, a sugar bowl, a butter dish with a domed lid and beaded rim tray, and a pair of footed salt and pepper shakers. The hollowware features a sleek, transitional design that blends late Art Deco simplicity with Mid-Century Modern silhouettes. Characterized by polished, unadorned bodies and sweeping C-scroll handles, the pieces exhibit a high-mirror finish. The pots are equipped with hinged lids topped with minimalist finials. The shakers stand on pedestal bases with decorative scroll feet, while the butter dish features a gathered finial and a tray with a distinctive beaded edge. Condition appears generally good with a notable aged patina and minor surface tarnish visible in the recesses. There are slight surface scratches consistent with use, though no major structural damage or deep indentations are evident from the image. The craftsmanship suggests a refined industrial production, likely originating from a mid-century American or European manufacturer like Gorham, Reed & Barton, or Christofle.
