For Sale is a wonderful Silver Plate set made by The Wilcox Silver Plate Company of Meriden, CT. I have a nice three piece set consisting of a Creamer, Covered Sugar and Celery Vase. The Creamer measures 4 1/2" tall and 4 3/4" in diameter outside handle measurement. The Covered Sugar measures 4 1/2" tall and is 6 1/2" in diameter outside handles measurement. The Celery Vase measures 4 1/2" tall and 5 5/8" in diameter outside handles measurement.

The body of each piece has an embossed pattern of flowers and leaves in high relief (Repousse-Ornamentation of metal in relief by pressing or hammering on the reverse side) while the lip displays a ruffled design. Each piece has heavy Victorian Style handle or handles. The entire set sits on a flat bottom. The etched detail in the Flowers and veining in the leaves is just outstanding.

Each piece is considered to be in very good condition as there are no Cracks or major dents to the Metal. The Covered sugar lid has a minor ding in the top and can be easily push back in place with a tool. The set is tarnished and show signs of use.
