REDUCED PRICE REDUCED PRICE REDUCED PRICE Very rare and highly collectible Super Edwardian (1907) Solid Silver Chester Hallmarked Arts and Crafts 3 Piece Tea Set weighing in at a substantial 1300 grams (I have seen sets of this era and quality command in excess of £900 )This magnificent set was assaye...d in Chester with a script date letter " g " for 1907. It bears the makers mark "GN/RH within a shield which I believe to be for " George Nathan & Ridley Hayes It is worth noting the beautiful work to the handles and top of the jug and bowl and also the top of the teapotIt has the letter engraved on one side of each piece which I think is possibly f or g ( I am hopeless at trying to ascertain fancy script) and I have tried to photograph ( not to good at that either ). This is good heavy plate ( please note I am NOT referring to silver plate) and I think could be polished out easily if required. It also has a very minor tiny ding on the side of the teapot which again I feel could be very easily dealt with by a silversmith. I only point this out to give as accurate a description as I can of the set and it would be my opinion that neither of these 2 things would deter from the true superb magnificence of the piece or its collectible valueSets like this of the early part of the century just post the Victorian era and with the Chester Assay office mark are quite rare and becoming harder and harder to find as like many other items of solid silver they have ended up in the melting pointWould be such a beautiful set to use at afternoon tea or that special occasion -very Edwardian or that special gift
