Marked Reed & Barton Sterling, 985 with sterling hallmarks; also monogrammed with the initial G (which can be professionally removed, if desired)

Excellent overall condition. The interior gold wash on the pieces show fading consistent with age. The lid on the sugar fits well, but tightly, and is stubborn to get back on once removed. Small, hard-to-see dent on one handle of the sugar bowl and some light patina on the handles and small nick to teapot handle.
