Chrome Tea or Coffee Service

Collectibles : Metalware : Chrome

 

This is a wonderful tea or coffee service with the pot, sugar and creamer. There is a mark that looks like a hammer with the letter "D" above to the right and the letter "F" below. I haven't been able to identify the maker. It is not listed in my reference book on American marks. My feeling is that it is possibly Scandinavian.The style of the legs and angular handles suggests it dates to the 1940's (late Art Deco) or 1950's. The outside appears to be chrome, but I am not certain. The inside is possibly brushed aluminum. The handle of the teapot is vinyl wrapped. There are some light scratches and blemishes on the pieces. The teapot has a slight dent near the lid on one side, and has some light brown discoloration inside which may bleach out. The teapot or coffee pot measures 7.5" tall to top of lid handle. The creamer is 2.5" tall and about 5" from spout to handle. The sugar measures 3.25" tall and 3.5" in diameter. The set needs some polishing, but I'll leave that to the purchaser.
