This gorgeous tea set with each piece marked Flemish Copper BP Co Canada 3049. The set includes the tea pot, creamer and a sugar bowl. The hammered copper is subtle yet striking. The contrast between the copper and pewter/metal accents is very beautiful. The teapot has a copper body, pedestal and lid. The spout, knob on the lid, hinge and part of the handle are pewter/metal. The handle on the teapot has a portion that is rattan trimmed. It measures about 7.25-inches high from the base to the top of the lid's knob. The pedestal base measures 3.5-inches across and the opening at the top measures 3-inches across. The sugar bowl is copper, flanked by two curled pewter/metal handles. The creamer has a matching handle on one side in pewter and a pewter/metal spout. Both pieces, like the tea pot sit on a pedestal. This set is in fairly good, vintage condition, although there some tarnish, patina, scuffs, scratches and other defects. Please see the photos for the most accurate description. "Flemish Copper is probably a style name for the non-silver plated wares of Benedict Proctor Mfg. Co. of Trenton, Ontario, Canada. They began in Toronto in 1913 and relocated to Trenton in 1917. The factory closed in 1982 ... Benedict Proctor was a producer of silver plated tea and coffee services and other silver plated gift and table wares. They probably decided to increase sales by offering their copper items with a clear lacquered finish instead of silver plated. Most have rather crudely cast silver-colored metal mounts (Britannia Metal)." ***Thanks to Oldcopper.org
