Lot 24: A Trio of Silver-Plated Hollowware Items in Victorian and Regency Styles
A trio of silver-plated hollowware items comprising a coffee pot, a lidded jug, and a teapot. The coffee pot and jug are designed in a Victorian Rococo Revival style, featuring bulbous bodies heavily decorated with high-relief repousse floral, foliate, and C-scroll motifs. The coffee pot includes a high-domed lid topped with a foliate finial and an elaborately scrolled handle fitted with bone or ivory-coloured heat insulators. The matching lidded jug exhibits similar dense scrollwork and embossed decoration. The teapot is of a compressed globular form in a Regency style, with a stepped lid, a gadrooned finial, and a beaded border around the shoulder. It features a black-finished handle and a tapering swan-neck spout. Marks are visible on the underside of the pieces but are not clearly legible in the photograph, preventing a definitive attribution to a specific maker. The items are constructed from silver-plated metal, showing characteristic yellowish-grey tarnish in recessed areas.
Condition report:
All three items show significant surface tarnish and oxidation consistent with age and storage. There are no obvious major dents or structural repairs visible from the provided photograph. The insulators on the coffee pot handle appear intact.
