THIS LOT HAS ADECEPTIVELY HEAVY, VINTAGE TEA SET, WITH WONDERFUL ART DECO STYLING, AND HALLMARKED IN THE 1930 - 1940 RANGE (EXACTLY, NOT THE TWO DECADES (SO ITS FROM THOSE PARTICULAR 11 YEARS). ITS ALL STERLING, EXCEPT FOR THE BLACK KNOB ON THE TOP OF THE PITCHER\'S LID, AND THE HANDLE ON THE PITCHER. I\'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF.
ALL THREE PIECES ARE HALLMARKED \"R.G.H.\" (ALL IN ONE STAMP), BIRMINGHAM \"ANCHOR\" STAMP, PASSANT LION (STERLING STAMP), AND WITH A LARGE \'G\' (FOR THE EXACT YEAR, WHICH I\'M NOT SURE WHAT YEAR THAT IS). THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LID IS EVEN STAMPED WITH THE LION AND G, WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN, BEFORE THIS SET (BUT I DON\'T SEE MANY OF THESE OUT HERE).
THEY ALL HAVE A VERY DARK CHARCOAL TYPE PATINA, WHICH SHOWS OFF THE DETAILS FAR BETTER THAN WHEN POLISHED. THEY SEEM TO BE GOLD WASHED, ON THEIR INSIDES. HOWEVER, THE ONLY ONE WITH ANY REAL GOLD TONE LEFT IS THE CREAM PITCHER, WITH JUST HINTS OF GOLD IN THE OTHER TWO.
THERE ARE SOME MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE THREE, PLUS A FEW \'CONCENTRATED\' AREAS WITH A FEW MORE SCRATCHES. THEY SHOULD ALL BUFF OUT PRETTY EASILY (BY ANY PROFESSIONAL, WHICH I\'M NOT). THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF POLISH TYPE PASTE, IN A FEW OF THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES (ESPECIALLY AROUND THE RIM OF THE PITCHER, JUST BELOW THE LID.
THERE ARE SURPRISINGLY NO REAL DENTS/DINGS IN THESE, BUT THEY ARE THICKER THAN MOST OTHER PIECES I FIND (IN THIS AREA). THEY ARE MAYBE 1mm THICK +/-. THERE IS 1 (ONLY) TINY DING ON THE UPPER SIDE OF THE SUGAR, BUT THAT\'S ALL I HAVE FOUND. IF THERE ARE MORE, THEY ARE PRETTY TINY.
THE CREAMER IS APPROX. 4.5\" WIDE (INCLUDING THE HANDLE) X 2.25\" DEEP X 4.25\" TALL, AND IT WEIGHS APPROX. 169* GRAMS (SEE NOTE, BELOW).
THE SUGAR IS APPROX. 7\" WIDE (INCLUDING BOTH HANDLES) X 3\" DEEP X 3.75\" TALL, AND IT WEIGHS APPROX. 258* GRAMS (SEE NOTE, BELOW).
THE PITCHER IS APPROX. 10\" WIDE (INCL HANDLE & SPOUT) X 4\" DEEP X 7\" TALL, AND IT WEIGHS APPROX. 582* GRAMS (SEE NOTE, BELOW).
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS APPROX. 1009 GRAMS (I HAD TO USE A POSTAL SCALE, DUE TO THEIR WEIGHTS, SO IT DIDN\'T WEIGH ANY FRACTIONS, BUT ITS CLOSE ENOUGH, I SUSPECT, AND IT DOES INCLUDE THE NON STERLING HANDLE AND KNOB, ON THE PITCHER. THAT TOTALS UP TO JUST OVER 32 TROY OUNCES, ALL TOGETHER.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN\'T (AND DON\'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM. I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY \"BEST GUESS\" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL. BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED. ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY ANDCONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILLBE$35 FULLY INSURED USPS REGISTERED MAIL,AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING.
I DON\'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS. IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS ARELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR offer, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO offer WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
