AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

5-Piece Tea and Coffee Service in 800 Silver - Italy (Vicenza?), circa 1960 - 2.673 kg

Complete 5-piece tea and coffee service in solid 800 silver, made in Italy (likely Vicenza goldsmith district) around the late 1950s to the 1960s. The set stands out for a refined classical design, featuring domed bodies, handles, and torciglione/cord wrap finishes. The teapot, coffee pot, and sugar bowl lids are topped with decorative knobs finely worked.

Lot composition and indicative dimensions:
* 1 Coffee pot with lid
* 1 Teapot with lid
* 1 Sugar bowl with lid
* 1 Milk jug
* 1 Large accompanying serving tray

Technical details and marks:
* Material: Solid 800 silver (punchmark "800" inside the oval clearly visible on every piece).
* Silversmith identification: the diamond-shaped punch seems to read "260 VI", corresponding to a historic artisan workshop registered in Vicenza, active from 1958.
* Total weight of the lot: 2673 grams (weight verified on a digital scale, see photo).

Condition of the item:
The service presents in good overall aesthetic condition. Being an authentic antique piece, it shows the normal light signs of time and use (small superficial scratches from contact and a light natural patina of oxidation), which attest to its history and authenticity without compromising its beauty or solidity. No significant dents or deformations.
The numerous attached photos are an integral part of the description and show the details of each piece, including the state marks and the silversmith’s marks.
