This beautiful tea service belonged to a friend's aunt and is at least 70 years old, although we suspect it's older, probably Victorian, late 19th century. T are 241 photos (just kidding...but a lot of photos) so hopefully they'll help. It's the largest tea set I think I've ever seen, 10 pieces, including: (1) a tilting hot water kettle on stand with burner, 15.25" high overall x 8.75" across spout x 8" wide, (2) a coffee pot 12.25" x 11.5" x 6", (3) a tea pot 10.5" x 11" X 6.5", (4) lidded cream pitcher 8.75" X 7" X 4.5", (5) unlidded small pitcher, maybe for syrup or ?, 6.75" X 7" X 4.5", (6) sugar bowl with lid 6.75" x 8" x 4", (7) waste bowl 5" x 4.5" x 4.5", (8) a double handled cup like a small loving cup, possibly meant as a holder for extra serving utensils or something, 6" x 8" x 4", (9) another small footed cup, like the waste bowl and of frankly unknown purpose, 6.5" x 4.5" x 4.5", and (10) the large engraved tea tray, 26.75" handle to handle, 21.5" x 16.25" for plate part.
