Important, Heavy Gorham Sterling Silver, 6 Piece, Coffee, Tea Set Service, #1140, Floral

Estate wonderful Gorham sterling silver 6 piece heavy floral pattern coffee tea service set, #1140.

This set was obviously very important to the family as there are two different sets on monograms on each piece, except for the hot water pot on stand. I think both will cover any initial that you need.

Just to cover ourselves, this set is in really nice condition, having only a few minor, minor, minor dents and scratches on the bottoms as normal. Only two dents are obvious/ One is on the bottom of the teapot, which can be taken out. Impossible to see in a photo, however we photographed the bottom of that piece, the one with the Gorham mark. The other dent is in the side of the burner. All the 6 pieces are marked with the Gorham marks, sterling, #1140. The hot water stand is not marked, except for a number 4963 in tiny, tiny numbers on the inside frame, (I almost couldn't make it out it is so small.) however it matches the hot water pot and both the stand and the burner test out as sterling.

This set weighs 9.5 regular pounds or about 138 troy ounces. I do not know the pattern, however it is a heavier than normal set for today and has a gorgeous floral pattern and the early heat wafers in the handles of the pots.

Hot water pot: 12 1/2 inches high, 7 1/4 inches diameter, 9 3/4 inches spout to handle.
