Kutch Silver Tea Set, circa 1880

Three Piece Silver Tea Set

The set comprises a tea pot, a sugar bowl and a milk jug, each with a cover that is surmounted by a solid cast and chased bird, and standing on four legs. The spout of the teapot finishes with an open-beaked bird head.

The bodies and covers of each piece are repoussed all over in high relief scrolling foliage and flowers against a tooled background. Each piece also has a blank armorial cartouche to one side.
