Three-Piece Silver Plated Coffee and Tea Set

This is a three-piece coffee and tea set, likely silver-plated, consisting of a tall coffee pot (percolator style), a teapot, and a creamer, or possibly two teapots and a creamer, given the similar pouring spouts on the two smaller vessels. The pieces exhibit a dark, tarnished finish, suggesting age and a lack of recent polishing. The overall style appears to be late 19th to early 20th century, possibly Victorian or Edwardian, characterized by elegant, somewhat ornate forms, though devoid of excessively elaborate detailing. The tall coffee pot features a cylindrical body, a long, slender spout, and a prominent dark handle, possibly made of ebonized wood or Bakelite, extending horizontally from its side. The lid is domed with a finial at the top. The two smaller pieces, likely a teapot and a creamer, share similar design elements, including small handles and spouts, and domed lids with finials, differing primarily in size. All pieces show significant patina and surface wear consistent with age and use. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images, but the attribution to 'International Silver Company' in the context suggests they might be the manufacturer. The craftsmanship, though obscured by tarnish, appears to be of standard quality for mass-produced silver-plated hollowware of the period. The handles of all pieces seem to have insulators or are made of a non-metallic material, a common feature to prevent heat transfer. The condition indicates that a good cleaning and polishing would likely reveal more about their original luster and potential decorative details.
