This four piece tea and coffee set was made by the American jewellery and silversmithing firm Tiffany & Company. The service comprises a coffee pot, a teapot, lidded sugar pot and a creamer, all crafted from sterling silver with ivory 'separators' to the handles. The set has been monogrammed to one side which appears to be 'BBC' in a very ornate script. The lids to the teapot, coffee pot and sugar pot feature melon shaped knops adding some detail to the otherwise very simple pieces. The set feature Tiffany markings which date its manufacture between 1907 and 1947 under the directorship of John C. Moore II. The set has been well used and shows signs of age in the form of slight knocks, abrasions and slight splitting to one handle which is shown in the images, all commensurate with age and use.
