Vintage 20th Century Italian Silver Plated Five Piece Tea Set By Sabattini

Antique early-20th Century Chinese export solid silver four piece tea set, comprising of a coffee pot, teapot, sugar bowl and milk jug, each tree-trunk shaped body applied with prunus flowers and applied with decoration in relief, spout, handles and finials modelled as tree branches, outstanding quality and very heavy gauge.
