Meriden Britannia Silverplate 5 Piece Coffee Tea Set Eastlake Victorian 2092

You're bidding on a beautiful antique silverplated five-piece coffee/tee service - coffee & teapots, creamer, sugar (with lid), and a second sugar bowl type piece that may or may not be missing a lid. Bottom-marked as manufactured by the Meriden Britannia Silver Company - one of the finer makers of the 19th & early 20th centuries - with a style or pattern number "2092". Several of the pieces also carry a Rogers Bros mark - Meriden Britannia acquired Rogers in the 1860s and by 1...869 the mark was phased out, so I'm guessing they may have been Rogers molds that were re-marked - probably circa 1870s. All pieces matching and quite ornate, with both an etched, Eastlake style floral design, and a raised leaf and vine design on the handles and footings. 
Very nice condition for age and type - they need a bit of polishing, but plating is still lustrous with minimal scratch or wear, no dings/dents and pieces very clean inside. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
