This fine tea service has an oval boat shaped panelled form with embossed scroll and foliate decoration to each panel incorporating a vacant cartouche to either side of each piece. The panels have acanthus leaf decorated upper borders. The teapot is fitted with a hinged domed hallmarked cover which retains the original hallmarked sterling silver finial. The teapot has a fluted decorated swan necked spout, and is fitted with an acanthus leaf decorated C scroll handle with acanthus leaf decorated sockets and ivory insulators.
