A diminutive Silver Tea Service, Chinese Export, certainly old, and with superb repousse and ornamental elements. The figures are in very high relief and well detailed. The reticulated base of each piece stands on three Foo Dogs that serve as feet. The set is quite heavy, weighing 47.7 ounces troy.

Though unmarked, the silver quality is good, about .900 and has been thoroughly tested by me.

The teapot, which I suppose would hold over a pint of tea, weighs 30.8 ounces.
Height of teapot is nearly seven inches.
Condition is excellent.

$2000
