Silver on Copper Benedict Lady Flora Tray 3008 and FBR Tea Service 2311

Description

Up for auction is an art nouveau style silver on copper tea service and tray "set" that I just couldn't separate because they look so good together. The round tray is Benedict Mfg. and is so marked on the back. It measures 14-5/16" across, with a lovely simple scalloped edge and a minimum of decoration at four points. It shows minor wear/usage but still looks very good. The tea service, consisting of a hinged tea/coffee pot with creamer and sugar, is F.B.R. (FB Rogers) silver on copper, marked on the bottoms F.B.R. Taunton Mass 2311, is absolutely gorgeous in its simplicity of design, but with a great touch on the handles. The tea service pieces show  minor wear, the hinged lid on the teapot works well, and there is light tarnish on the outside of the pieces. The inside of the teapot does need to be cleaned. I have not polished any of these pieces. They are pre-owned and came from an estate with many high quality silver pieces. A truly beautiful set that will look great for years to come. The teapot is roughly 7" tall and 8-1/2" across from tip of spout to outer edge of handle. The creamer is roughly 2-1/4" tall at the spout and the sugar is just over 2" tall at the rim.
