Engraved “Hendersons” (likely a café or hotel that saw its fair share of whispered gossip over scones), this early 20th-century set was crafted by Elkington & Co., one of England’s premier makers. Includes teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl, each engraved and marked, with patina that tells you it’s poured more tea — and maybe gin — than you’ll ever admit.

While it was made for Earl Grey, it’s equally perfect for a round of hot toddies, spiked cider, or even batching espresso martinis. The creamer doubles beautifully for syrups or mixers, and the sugar bowl? Ideal for citrus wedges, olives, or late-night snacks. Because in true British fashion, the best stories were always served in silver.
