Antique English Silverplate & Porcelain Espresso Service
$995.00
Coffee for one is fuel for the day, but coffee for two is something entirely different: Coffee for two is the exchange of confidences, the sharing of ideas, and the plotting of adventures and schemes.
What could be better to facilitate such occasions than this exceptional service by the noted artisans of William Hutton & Sons silversmiths in Sheffield, England. Complete with an ebony side-handled pot, petite cream jug and sugar bowl with gold washed interiors, all resting confidently on a matching tray, while a pair of nearly translucent, elegantly thin, porcelain espresso cups and saucers feature surfaces modeled to echo the exquisitely textured hand tooling of their silver companions.
Dating from between 1902 (when Wm. Hutton & Sons began using their crossed arrows mark) and 1930 (when they were acquired by James Dixon & Sons), this rare and splendidly luxe service will be sure to bring the elegance of turn-of-the-last-century European coffee culture into your own home.
We are confident that this exquisite set will generate all manner of stimulating conversation as the perfect way to start or end the perfect day with the most perfectly petite cups of coffee!
