Hi all,
Thank you in advance for any help. I inherited a tea set from my grandmother I’d like to sell, unless it has little value, then I’ll use it. It is stamped as Wilcox SilverPlate Co. On this forum, I found that they operated in the US in the 1860s. So the best I can do is look for comparisons there. It has 5 pieces and one loose top. I think it may be missing one top. The set has a larghe tea pot, a small tea pot, what I assume is a smaller pot for cream, an urn like vessel with a top the size of a grapefruit with handles, and another coconut sized vessel maybe missing a top. They all have nice dental work along the tops and have 4 cloven hoof legs topped wit a bearded man. They are all engraved with a “C” I think. What would you do with this set? Sell? Keep? Research more?
Thank you and appreciate the help.
Sam
