Description

This exquisitely designed and beautifully crafted late 19th Century Silver Gilt and Champlevé enamel tea serving set is complete in its original fitted box. It measures 8 in – 20.3 cm wide, 5 3/4 in – 14.6 cm deep and 2 in – 5 cm in height. The set is comprised of a tea strainer, serving spoon, serving fork and sugar cube tongs. This rare set would enhance and grace any dining table setting.
Champlevé is an enamelling technique in the decorative arts, or an object made by that process, in which troughs or cells are carved, etched, die struck, or cast into the surface of a metal object, and filled with vitreous enamel. The piece is then fired until the enamel fuses, and when cooled the surface of the object is polished.
