Item: Teaset (3-piece) Description: Boat-shape with gadroon border Hallmark: London 1822-24 by Rebecca Emes & Edward Barnard Dimensions: Teapot: 165mm high; 300mm spout to handle; 1400ml volume; 727g weight. Sugar Bowl: 105mm high; 230mm handle to handle; 326g weight. Cream Jug: 105mm high; 160mm spout to handle; 237g weight. Total Weight: 1290g Comments: A fine quality George IV period tea service. This set shows many of the features that are representative of the Regency period and so typical of this fine silversmithing partnership. The flush hinge and acanthus style decoration to both the front and back of the spout are particularly notable. These acanthus leaves are repeated on all the handles and around the feet of the teapot. The large cream and sugar bowl retain their original gilding (gold-wash) to the interiors. Excellent original condition throughout and a very fine set.
