A masterpiece of days gone by: The Silver Tea Set by S. Blanckensee & Son Ltd.
Imagine a sunny afternoon, the sun's rays dancing through the windows, and the only sound to break the silence is the hiss of a tea brewing. At such a moment, tea deserves only the best, and this exclusive tea set from S. Blanckensee & Son Ltd in Birmingham from 1927 is just the thing.
The elegance of the set is emphasised by the bulging and finely faceted corpi, which rest majestically on filigree lion's head feet. This attention to detail continues in the sweeping collar with its ornate relief border, a real feast for the eyes that reflects 1920s design.
While the sugar bowl and the creamer captivate with their curved floral handles, reminiscent of the skilful craftsmanship and artistry of the silversmiths of the time, the teapot catches the eye. It presents itself with a hinged lid whose wooden knob brings a warm note to the metallic coolness. But the real star might be the artfully curved wooden handle, which not only provides a comfortable grip but also adds to the face of the set with its refined radiance.
S. Blanckensee & Son Ltd, a renowned name in the world of silver, has once again proven with this set that their works are not merely utilitarian objects, but also works of art. And when you now take this set in your hand, you will not only feel the haptic of the silver, but also the stories and memories it has collected since 1927.
Whether as the centrepiece of your teatime, as a topic of conversation at a social gathering or simply as a precious collector's item in your display case - this tea set will not disappoint. It is not only a piece of history, but also a testament to the incomparable craftsmanship and style of a bygone era. A must for every tea lover and collector of fine silver!
