This stylish and unusual Six Person Elkington silver-plated service is a superb example of mid-20th-century British design. Complete with a purpose-made silver-plated stand, it includes six fine porcelain demitasse cups with gilt handles and six clear glass liqueur or shot glasses, all neatly arranged in a two-tiered format.
The elegant tiered stand is formed from a silver-plated wire frame with sculptural loops that securely cradle the cups and glasses. It features a central handle for easy carrying and serving. Each saucer is removable and supports either a porcelain coffee cup or glass shot glass, allowing the set to function beautifully for either after-dinner espresso service or liqueur presentation.
This set bears the stamp of Elkington & Co, one of Britain’s most respected silver plate manufacturers, and is marked with the date letter ‘I’ for the year 1920.
