This Tiffany Sterling Silver Tea Service belonged to the Academy Award winning Best Actress for the movie Peyton Place in 1958, Lana Turner was discovered in Schwabs Drugstore in the 1930's. Some of her more famous roles were in "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and "The Bad and the Beautiful." Who knows what stories this Tiffany Tea Service could tell? Was it a wedding present from Louis B Mayer for one of her 7 marriages, was Lana Turners boyfriend Johnny Stompenado stabbed to death over a cup of tea? Each piece of the service is marked Tiffany Sterling with a pattern number. It is in excellent condition overall and weighs 114 Troy Oz's. It includes a Hot Water/Tea Kettle, Coffee Pot, Milk Pot, Sugar Bowl and Creamer all circa the late 1940's. Included is the provence in the form of a letter from Abels Auctions in LA stating that this Tiffany Tea service came from the estate of Lana Turner.

As of today (3/3/08) I do not have a digital camera that will take clear photos of the Hallmarks on the bottom of each piece. The letter that accompanies this set is a bit on the fragile side now and is short and to the point.
