Unger Bros Sterling Silver Repousse Floral Demitasse Tea/Coffee Set

Description

Offered is a beautiful Unger Bros demitasse tea/coffee set, covered in a deep-relief floral design. The hand on the pot wiggles ever, ever so slightly. If you simply pick up the pot, you don't notice anything at all, but if you hold it by the base, you can detect the slightest of movement in the handle. This is a miniscule issue which would probably be unnoticed if I didn't mention it, but I firmly believe in full disclosure. Otherwise, it is in excellent antique condition, showing only the patina you would expect from sterling over 125 years old. Each piece is discreetly monogrammed, and of course it's completely unclear what the monogram is, but I can say it appears to be 2 letters. The pot is monogrammed under the lid and behind the spout, while the creamer monogram can be found below the spout, and the sugar bowl monogram is under one of the handles.
The tea set shows a weight of 330 grams on my postal scale, and the Unger Bros. mark is on the bottom of each piece as shown clearly in photos 9, 10, and 12. This set is
shown in 1904 Unger Bros. catalog, but was being made well before that and is shown in earlier catalogs that have not been reprinted like the 1904 publication.
