An assortment of domestic and vanity items. The lot features a matching four-piece tea and coffee service of Queen Anne style, comprising a coffee pot, teapot, two-handled sugar bowl, and cream jug. Each vessel is constructed from white metal and exhibits a compressed globular or pear-shaped form with gadrooned borders and fluted lower sections. The pots are fitted with stained fruitwood? scroll handles and matching finials, while the cream and sugar vessels are raised on four shell-motif feet with ornate scroll handles. Also included are two vanity hand mirrors: one of Venetian? style with a beveled glass plate, etched foliate borders, and a tapered glass handle; the second featuring a dark ebonized? handle with white metal foliate overlays. The collection is completed by a small white metal salt spoon with a shell-shaped bowl and a white metal crucifix featuring a detailed corpus Christi on a simple cross with a suspension ring. No marks are legible on the tea service, which shows areas of base metal exposure. The salt spoon bears a small indistinguishable mark? to the reverse of the handle.
