The set is made of silverplate and engraved with decorative Asian motifs including birds. The handles are in the form of bamboo. The overall cubist forms give this tea service such a unique presence. It is small in size with each piece measuring roughly 4.5" square. Each piece is stamped on the bottom with the James W. Tufts maker's mark. The tea service is missing the lid to the sugar and for that reason offered at a reduced price. See less
