Featured Indian Silver Tea Service

Could anyone tell me please how old this set might be and how much it might be worth? Teapot, creamer and sugar bowl. Thank you

 

Are there no marks underneath at all? Anywhere on any piece?

 

Raj era, and lovely. Indian silver often isn't marked. Might be 800 to 900 fineness.

 

Absolutely none. Given to my mother in 1953 from her parents who were antique dealers.

 

Indian silver was white hot a few years ago in the UK; it doesn't turn up enough here in the USA to have much of a track record. I'd imagine the OP is locking it back in the safe now that pictures are taken, rather than selling it. Otherwise she might have a Bear peering in her windows.

 

Yup, Bear covets. It would still sell pretty well, that elephant finial helps massively.

 

Cool Colorado also covets. Absolutely divine.

 

Raj era silver is stunning.

 

Would the sugar have also had a similar lid?

 

Possibly, although open sugars are quite common at the time.

 

Thanks!!

I wondered but looking at it again the handles almost look like they go up above the side edge & might interfere with the lid.

 

Nice link!

 

Thank you so much

 

What does "OP" mean?

 

Yep - Original Poster, generally.
