The Total weight of the entire set being a substantial 40.2 oz or 1,140 grams

The whole set just says Arts and Craft and Quality to you with every piece sitting on 3 plain pad feet with a excellent planished finish to the full set with a bulbous shape to the bodies with stunning tulip mounted handles to each piece with the teapot and coffee pot having excellent flowing spouts with hinged domed lids and turned finials

The Tea and coffee Pot are both hallmarked for 1904 with the sugar bowl hallmarked for 1913 and the cream jug for 1946 with all the same maker Charles Edwards so I assume that the sugar bowl was added after the original purchase of the Tea and Coffee Pot with the Cream Jug a replacement (maybe damaged in the war and replaced after) but as can be seen in the photos all made to be together

The Set is free of any initials or monograms

The Set is in Excellent Condition both inside and out
