Vintage Silver Sugar and Creamer Set

This is a vintage sugar and creamer set, most likely made from silver plate or sterling silver due to its characteristic shine and patina. The set includes a lidded sugar bowl and a creamer jug, both exhibiting a classic, somewhat ornate design. Each piece sits on a decorative pedestal base, which features an engraved or embossed floral/foliate pattern around its perimeter. The sugar bowl has two scrolled handles with what appears to be acanthus leaf detailing at the attachment points, and a domed lid topped with an elaborately shaped finial. There is a band of decorative engraving or embossing around the rim of the sugar bowl and on its lid, adding to its elegant aesthetic. The creamer jug also features a similar scrolled handle with ornate detailing and a pouring spout. The interior of the creamer appears to have a gilded finish, which is often seen in silver pieces to prevent tarnishing from acidic liquids like milk or cream. Both pieces show signs of use and age, including some tarnishing, which manifests as darkened areas, particularly in the recessed decorative patterns, indicating their age and material. There might be minor surface scratches consistent with normal use, but no major dents or significant damage are visible. The craftsmanship suggests a period piece, possibly late 19th or early 20th century, given the prevalent decorative styles of that era. The quality appears to be very good, indicative of well-made tableware.
