Antique Rockford hotsell Silver Co Quadruple Plate Brite Cut Silver Heirloom Tea Set | Antique Coffee Set | 25th Anniversary

Offered is a gorgeous antique American made coffee/tea set from Rockford Silverplate Company.

This set includes a teapot/coffee pot with hinged lid, a lidded double-handled sugar bowl and cream pitcher. The set is “Brite-Cut” which means the lovely floral design stays brilliant against the silver background, even with this rich tarnish.

Each piece is marked on the bottom “Rockford Silver P Co Quadruple 351.” The teapot has a number 6 above the markings as well.

Quadruple means that these pieces have four times the silver plating as a normal piece: .012 inches rather than .003 inches. This makes them more durable and resistant to nicks and scratches.

The Rockford Silver Company produced pieces between 1882-1925. At that time it was bought out by Sheets and all of their business records were destroyed. There is therefore no definitive way to ascertain the exact pattern name (other than #351) or date of manufacture. Due to the Victorian design and low pattern number, I believe this set was made in the late 1880s or 1890s.

CONDITION:

In very good antique condition. There is corrosion and pitting on the inside of the teapot and at its foot. The rich pewter color on all three pieces is very evident tarnish. These are antique pieces, please take the time to look at the photos. Thank you!

MEASUREMENTS:
Teapot: 8”H, 9 ½” spout to handle, 5 ¼” across at its fullest
Lidded Sugar Bowl: 6” H with lid, 7” across handle to handle, 3 ⅝” diameter mouth
Creamer: 4”H, 5” across from spout to handle

Contact me if you would like to COMBINE SHIPPING for purchases of multiple items. Some items CANNOT be combined due to fragility, but I try to be accomodating whenever possible. I will also refund any shipping overages over $2.00.

Shipping reflects the cost of shipping materials and a small handling fee.

PLEASE NOTE: All items are pre-owned and sold “as-is” unless otherwise stated in the item description. Vintage pieces have a history and bear the marks of the people that have previously used and cared for them.

I expect that there may hotsell be some minor use marks, pin point size marks, small light brown spots, utensil marks, or paint loss. This is normal for vintage merchandise. I try to describe anything that would be considered a major flaw, such as scratches, chips, crazing, or stains.

I do my best to provide an assessment of the condition of each item, but IN ADDITION TO REVIEWING THE DESCRIPTION, PLEASE USE THE PHOTOS TO VIEW THE ITEM IN DETAIL.

Shipping includes up to $100 in insurance.

No refunds issued or returns accepted.
