Tea service in a chest: 27 pieces for six place settings

The chest holds 27 pieces. Three belong to the table: pot, sugar bowl and milk jug. Then come six each of cups, spoons and napkin rings, one set for each of the six place settings.

Lemon fork, sugar scoop, cheese knife and three cheese picks complete the contents. The sum: 3 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 makes 27. Saucers are not included.

The chest of leather and wood has two tiers and keeps the service safe. All porcelain pieces in the chest, from the pot to the six cups, are bone china from the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in St. Petersburg. The silver setting comes from ArgentA.

From the pot to the cheese knife: the contents of the chest

For the tea, there are the pot with pheasant finial, six cups and six spoons. At the front, the cups show a roaring stag in a rocaille cartouche, at the side birds and a hunting scene.

The table pieces are sugar bowl and milk jug, the lemon fork and the shell-shaped sugar scoop.

Even with 27 pieces, the order stays the same: first the casting, then the polishing by hand, from the napkin ring to the pot.

Stag, birds and rocaille stand out through the blackened finish, which darkens the recesses. The raised areas stay bright.

Napkin rings, cheese knife and cheese picks in detail

Each napkin ring is an openwork silver band. On it, an oval frame shows a roaring stag with antlers, surrounded by tendrils. The diameter is approx. 40 mm. You will find more rings in the collection 925 silver napkin rings.

The cheese knife is approx. 230 mm long. Its handle carries an oval cartouche with foliage at the front, and foliage on the back as well.

Three cheese picks also lie in the chest, according to the manufacturer with the figures of a sheep, a cow and a goat.

A service for the family, at the table in the hunting lodge and for celebrations

Six place settings invite a large group to the table. Siblings, children and grandchildren can give the service together for a milestone birthday or anniversary. In the hunting lodge, it finds room on a long table, and at Christmas the family comes together anyway.

Other combinations of the line are the Royal Hunt table set, 5 pieces with pot, sugar bowl, milk jug, fork and scoop, and the Royal Hunt tea set for two with pot, two cups and two spoons.

The Royal Hunt tea service is laid for two people and contains no napkin rings.

Family name and date on the silver, plus the SilberVerse

A family name or date on the silver: you can ask about it, but that is not yet a promise. Engraving is possible after checking. We ask the manufacturer what is possible on the silver parts and discuss lettering and layout with you. Note your wish in the order note at checkout or send it by email or WhatsApp. If it is not possible, we refund the amount and discuss another piece with you.

A verse belongs to the handover: the SilberVerse comes free on request, is created individually for the occasion and names, and reaches you as a photo card 15 × 10 cm.
