This is an Antique Reproduction Service Set
It is new and it comes in its original box. It appears unused.

There are some fine marks and discolorations on the tray as well as some very mild discolorations on the set itself.

The Congtatulations Certificate reads as follows:
You have received an antique reproduction service set. These items were first introduced in Europe during the 19th century when formal entertaining became popular, not only for the gentry, but also for the developing middle class.
Electroplating of gold and silver to copper and later to brass permitted the middle class to purchase the same service sets that were being purchased by nobility in sterling silver and in vermeil, (goldplated on sterling silver). This goldplate on this set is electroplated to a brass base metal using the same process over the past 100 years. Care and attention has been paid to create the traditional floral designs on the feet, handles, knobs and spouts.
The shape, design and balance of each piece of this set has been perfected over time to provide both visual pleasure and practical ease of use. Feet were put on the pots to prevent heat from transferring to the tray and damaging a table. The trays were etched to hide slight scratches made while serving.
With proper, but minimal care, this set should last for several generations in your family. It is practical, and can be used as an attractive decorative accessory in the dining or living room.
Enjoy!
This lovely, ornate set will be sold as is, even with the tarnishing discolorations. It was made in Indonesia and weighs about 18 lbs. in its box. The care instructions mention that it will not tarnish, but this has been stored in the box in its original wrappings and appears to have some discolorations, especially on the serving tray.
It is a vintage item and the proceeds will go to a school for fundraising.
It may be used for display, serving coffee or tea, or make a nice gift to a collector!
