This lovely Arts & Crafts period 5 piece tea set is solid brass and in excellent condition. I have checked it quite carefully, but I cannot find a maker's mark. The Teapot is about 6 3/4" tall from the base to the top of the finial. It is 8 1/2" long from the handle to the spout. The base (oval) measurements are 4" by 5". The tinning on the inside of the teapot appears to be in good condition. The Hot Water Pot is about 9" tall - base to finial tip,and 9" long from the handle to the spout. The oval base is 3 3/4" by 4 3/4". The inside of the pot has to be retinned - although the inside of the lid is well tinned. The ferrules on the handles of both pots appear to be wooden and in excellent shape. The double handled lidded Sugar bowl is about 4 3/4" tall from base to tip of the finial and 6 5/8" from handle to handle . The oval base is 3 1/2" by 4 1/2". The tinning on the inside of the body and the lid is in fine condition. The Creamer is 4" tall at its highest point and 5 1/8" long from handle to end of spout. The inside tinning is fine. The Tray is oval
12 3/8" by 21 1/2" . The detailing and decorations can best be seen on the photos. I would say the set needs a good wash and polish, otherwise in excellent condition.

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.
