The pieces feature a bulbous design and circular pedestals with stepped moldings that lend them height and elegance. The most distinctive elements are their cast handles with scrolls and foliate finials, offering an ergonomic and artistic grip, along with acorn-shaped knobs that crown the lids. The tray frames the entire piece with a raised, gadrooned border, a classic motif that is repeated on the openwork handles to create a harmonious and sophisticated visual unity. -Mark: No visible maker's marks are observed, which is common in some silver-plated alpaca pieces from this period. -Measurements: *Tray: 50.6 cm (length with handles) x 40 cm (without handles) x 29.7 cm (width). *Large Coffee/Tea Pot: 21 cm (total height), 21.5 cm (total width including handle and spout), 11 cm (body diameter), 7.8 cm (lid diameter), 9.3 cm (base diameter) x 25 cm (total height with lid open). *Medium Teapot: 18.5 cm (total height), 24 cm (total width including handle and spout), 13 cm (body diameter), 8.3 cm (lid diameter), 9.2 cm (base diameter) x 22 cm (total height with lid open). *Sugar Bowl with Lid: 14.5 cm (total height), 15.5 cm (total width including handles), 8.2 cm (body diameter), 6.6 cm (lid diameter), 7 cm (base diameter). *Milk Jug/Creamer: 12 cm (total height), 12.5 cm (total width with handle), 8.2 cm (body diameter), 9 cm (length from spout to back), 7 cm (base diameter).
