    Description

    This antique 5 piece tea service from Hartford Sterling Co. has been family-owned.  It was purchased from an antique dealer in the mid 1960s.  It is NOT sterling, as there are NO markings.  I have indicated 'silver plate' as the 'composition'.  The bottom of
    each piece
    is marked as you see in photo #8.
    Includes: coffee pot, tea pot, creamer, sugar and waste bowl.
    Each piece is engraved with the letter "P".
    Has only been a display item; never used by my family.
    From my research, I found that this company was located in Philadelphia...so the "Made in England" stamp on each piece is confusing to me!
    Measurements~~
    Coffee pot--about 9" to the top of lid.  Tea pot--about 7".  Waste bowl--3 1/2" at the sides.  Sugar bowl--5 1/2" to top of lid.  Creamer--3 1/2" at the lip.
    This set has seen use; there are scratches, a few dings and some wear on the silver plate.  No hinge pin for the tea pot.  I have polished each piece, but could use a little more elbow grease.
    Please check out the photos to make your own determination of condition, as they are part of the description.  Happy to provide more pictures; I've taken plenty prior to packaging.
    Thanks for looking!
