Silver-Plated Lidded Sugar Bowl and Creamer Set
This is a two-piece service set consisting of a globular-shaped lidded sugar bowl and a matching open creamer. The items appear to be constructed from a base metal, likely copper or brass, which has been silver-plated. The design features a distinct beaded rim (gadrooning) circling the midsection of both vessels. The sugar bowl includes two ornate, scrolled side handles and a domed lid topped with a decorative pedestal finial. The creamer has a narrow pouring spout and a matching scrolled handle. Structurally, the pieces exhibit many characteristics of mid-20th-century silver-plate manufacture, common in brands like Reed & Barton or Oneida. Regarding condition, there is significant surface tarnish and oxidation throughout, particularly on the lid and interior surfaces, showing a dark, brownish patina. There is visible wear to the plating, especially along the raised decorative edges and handles, where the base metal may be beginning to show through ('bleeding'). No major dents are visible from this angle, though the surface shows light scratches consistent with age and use. The set lacks obvious hallmarks in the current view, but would typically be marked on the underside of the base.
