The c...ream pitcher is 4 inches high, the sugar bowl is 5 inches across the handles and 3 ½ inches high. A saucer measures 5 ½ inches in diameter and the cup is 2 inches high and a diameter of 3 ¼ inches. There are 17 pieces in total, counting the insert and lids. Each piece is decorated with medallions containing a lady of the Colonial Period having a cup of tea. Three ladies are dressed in blue and three in pink polka dots. The opposite medallion pictures a manor house. Baskets of hand painted roses are joined together by swags of raised turquoise enamel beads. Bands of embossed gilding and trimming of shiny gold enhance each piece. The details are delightful. It is wonderful to find a complete set. CONDITION: Excellent
