Beautiful heavy silverplated reed and Barton serving set. Consists of 5pcs, coffee pot, teapot, sugar, creamer, and tray. King Francis pattern is a cornucopia of fruit which is highly detailed.

The creamer has some roughness on the base. The tray has scratches to the center. All have minor wear as they are vintage. They weigh a little over 19lbs collectively. The tray measures 30. See all pictures for details and dimensions. Signature required, fully insured.
