Description from the seller

This magnificent coffee set stands out for its exuberant ornamentation and visually dynamic design. It is a high-quality decorative piece, ideal for collectors or for gracing an elegant table.
-Origin: Italy (based on the casting method and style).
-Style: Neo-Rococo with naturalist influences.
-Period: First half of the 20th century (c. 1920-1950).
-Material: High-gloss silver-plated metal.
-Technique: Casting, repoussé, and chiseling.
-Ornamentation: The set features an exceptionally rich decorative program.
*The organically designed handles, simulating branches or trunks intertwined with flowers, and the pouring spouts with zoomorphic motifs (bird/phoenix type), are particularly noteworthy. *The bodies are decorated with large, embossed floral medallions, and the lids are topped with elegant knobs shaped like pineapples or other fruit, symbols of hospitality.
-Condition: Excellent condition. The metal retains a very bright, specular luster, with no evident signs of wear to the silver plating or dents.
-Components and Measurements
The service consists of four coordinated pieces on a large serving tray:
*Large Coffee Pot: 25.8 cm x 22.5 cm x 8 cm
*Small Teapot/Coffee Pot: 25.5 cm x 23 cm x 8.5 cm
*Milk Jug/Pitcher: 18.5 cm x 17 cm x 8 cm
*Sugar Bowl with Lid: 20 cm x 14.5 cm x 8.2 cm
*Oval Tray: 50.5 cm (Length) x 33.5 cm (Width)
-Note: The pedestal-style bases and the intricate "rococo-style" handles lend this set a stately presence. Although it lacks visible hallmarks (common in commissioned pieces or handcrafted silverware from the first half of the 20th century), the quality of the workmanship and the visual weight suggest high-end craftsmanship.
