Manchester Silver Company was founded in Providence, RI (right in our backyard) in 1887 and produced high-end silver flatware. The company was in business until 1985. This elegant coffee service, pattern number 788/783, features a timeless and traditional streamlined colonial-inspired design with a plain body adorned with a simple thin border and streamlined arabesque handles. The set is elegantly monogrammed with a bold and fanciful letter “S”. The pieces are crafted of fine 925 sterling silver; pieces are hallmarked on the back with the Manchester mark and “Sterling”. The total weight of the set is 1588 grams (51 troy ounces). Quite a substantial service and a smart investment as it will always be “worth it’s weight in silver”! The set is composed of the following pieces: 1 large oval tray – 16-1/8″ in length, 12-5/8″ in depth 1 coffee pot – 9″ in height, 8-3/8″ in length, 4-3/4″ in depth 1 sugar – 5-5/8″ in length, 3-3/8″ in diameter, 3-1/4″ in height 1 creamer – 5″ in length, 3-1/2″ in diameter, 3-1/4″ in height Set presents beautifully and is in very good vintage condition, with surface wear/scuffing, tarnishing and patina commensurate with age and light use. There are a few small and light surface dings that can easily (and cheaply) be smoothed out by any jeweler: the tray has one small ding on its’ surface; sugar has a few very faint (and hard to notice) surface dings; creamer has two dings near spout; coffee pot has a ding on base of spout and handle is secure but rattles slightly. This coffee service will look great year-round with a wide range of tableware items and would also make a wonderful gift for the stylish host and hostess this holiday season! This elegant and refined American-made set is a masterpiece of old New England craftsmanship. Add style and grandeur to your after dinner course with this elegant coffee service this holiday season…beautiful sterling silver never goes out of style AND it looks fabulous gleaming atop a sideboard or proudly displayed in a china cabinet…Fresh to the market!
