Description
An exceptional, fine and impressive, rare antique German 935 standard silver ten piece picnic tea set/service - boxed; an addition to our silver teaware collection.
This exceptional and rare antique German 935 standard silver tea set consists of a spirit tea kettle, cream jug, sugar bowl, three glass containers and a pair of cups and saucers.
Each silver component of this unusual and rare picnic tea service has a plain circular rounded form.
The body of the tea kettle, sugar bowl and cream jug are plain and unembellished.
The silver sugar bowl and tea kettle are each fitted with a plain cover surmounted with a ring loop style finial; the cover to the kettle is hinged and the sugar bowl is push fit.
The silver tea kettle retains the original plain hinged handle and tapering spout.
The silver cream jug and sugar bowl have plain angular silver handles.
The fine and impressive kettle is supported on the original detachable three-legged stand, fitted with a detachable spirit burner.
The plain rectangular glass containers are fitted with plain silver covers; it can be determined that these varying sized vessels were crafted for tea, milk and sugar.
The impressive cream jug and sugar bowl retain the original gilded interiors.
This antique travelling tea service is fitted to the original hinged leatherette carrying case, embellished with the initials 'M. R. B' and securing with a suitcase buckle box lock.
The cover of the case lifts, allowing the anterior portion of the box to open and provide access to the individual compartmentalised leatherette and velvet lined interior.
The hallmarks to the underside of each piece include:
National mark: Crescent moon and crown
Silver quality/purity mark: 935 (935/1000)*
Maker's mark: C. W. Jr
Such examples are often electroplated, it is rare to locate a travelling boxed silver tea set crafted in solid silver.
* German silver is typically crafted in 800 standard, this higher standard indicates the high quality of the service.

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
All items at Vinterior are special and unique, and we understand that once they are at the Customer's place, they might not fit the space or just don’t feel right. This is why we offer a market-leading 100-day returns policy for purchases from Professional sellers after goods have been received by customers based in the UK and European Union. This means Vinterior customers can return their items for any reason up to 100 days from the day they were received.
If purchased from an Individual seller, a 14-day return policy applies from the day it was received.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
