The traditional blue-and-white porcelain handles are decorated in the familiar Blue Onion vocabulary, giving the service a distinctly Chinoiserie character while retaining the practical weight and construction of English table flatware.

The service comprises eight 7-inch dinner forks, nine 6.25-inch salad forks, six 7.375-inch soup spoons, seven 6.75-inch teaspoons, eight 6.25-inch butter knives and ten 8.25-inch dinner knives, for a total of 49 pieces. The forks and spoons are Sheffield EPNS, while the knives are Sheffield stainless steel. The porcelain handles remain free from reported chips or cracks.

The EPNS components exhibit normal table wear and surface marks consistent with age and use, while the stainless-steel knives remain in excellent to near-new condition. The supplied research identifies the coordinated service with House of Prill and the Blue Onion pattern
