This elegant 20th century Mexican sterling tea and coffee service consists of 5 pieces: tray, teapot,coffeepot, creamer, lidded sugar. The pieces are marked "Sterling 0.925 OR-MEX". So far, I can find no information on "OR". The TRAY is 25 1/4" long from end to end of the handles. The maximum width of this oval tray is 14 7/8" The tray appears to be hand made and the handles( in the form of sunflowers connected by a scroll) are cast.The troy oz. weight is 66.06. All of the hollow ware pieces are of a ribbed melon form. The connecting rings on the teapot and coffeepot appear to be made of ivory.The COFFEEPOT is 10" tall, 11 1/2" wide from the tip of the spout to the handle and about 5" deep at its deepest point. There is a 5/8" long dent on the body of the pot - not deep - and the lid does not close tightly. The troy oz. weight is 36. The TEAPOT is 7 1/2" tall, about 10 1/4" wide handle to tip of spout,and about 7" deep at the widest point. The troy oz. weight is 37.13. The CREAMER is 4 1/4" tall, 6" wide, handle to end of spout. The depth is 4". Troy oz. weight is 11.50. The sugar bowl and lid are 5 1/2" tall - maximum. 7" wide handle to handle, and the body is about 5" deep. the troy oz. weight is 17.78. It is a very handsome set containing an impressive amount of silver. Except for the two faults noted, it is in very good condition.
