A very highly sought after silversmith and pattern, this Zodiacal/Astrological 3 piece silver plated HAND CHASED Tea Set was made by the Royal Warranted silversmith, Elkington & Company, of Birmingham (UK), inventors of electroplated silver ware (and electroplating in general!) This set has been made in the mid to late 19th century in England by a variety of silversmiths, mostly in Sterling. However, Elkington made this set in small supply in fine electroplate (please note the marks on the base of each piece.) Please note the wonderful adaptation of the astrological signs in individual panels, There is a blank cartouche suitable for engraving on the teapot and open sugar bowl. Elkington was also one of the few silver smiths that used a "cypher" system to date their plated wares (unlike most other British manufacturers and those pieces in sterling which are mandated to be marked with the year of manufacture.) The cypher marks indicate that this set was made between 1883-1888 and is in pristine age-appropriate condition with no exterior plate loss whatsoever (and very little wear noted except the inside of the teapot which was carefully used and still remains usable, as are the open sugar bowl and the cream jug.) The diminutive size of this set is indicative of an afternoon tea set for two...
