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.
