Help - Tea Set

Post by jray424 »

I recently inherited some silver from my grandmother. This tea set is among some of the things. I am looking for any information anyone can offer so that I can learn more about this piece. Thank you in advance.

I apologize if the images are not the best. The only markings I could find are shown in the images.

Hi,
``Silver on copper`` meaning it`s silver-plated.
Looks like one of the marks used by Boardman, Glossop & Co Ltd,Sheffield, Birmingham and London.
XX century.

The mark can be found elsewhere,too.

Hi ~ welcome to the forums.

Your tea service is mid 20th century American silverplate, made the Birmingham Silver Co.
