Antique silver-plated tea set for sale

Grant from Halswell

Antique 4 piece silver-plated tea service.

A wedding present of my great grandparents who married in New Zealand in 1891.

Set includes milk jug, hot water jug, teapot and sugar bowl. In great condition. 126 years old!!

Still all works - teapot even includes the tea strainer - so you can 'play ladies' or enjoy an elegant high tea in style.

Large pot and jug have TW mark on the bottom, which may be the mark of Thomas White of Sheffield, England.

Pick up is from Wigram, Christchurch.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
