Notes
This elegant Portuguese tea-set is a stunning example of the Victorian era craftsmanship of Portugal. The set features beautifully embossed sides and covers, with intricately designed zoomorphic handles. While this set embraces typically Victorian techniques and motifs, the execution of them is uniquely Portuguese and would be a noteworthy addition in any collection.
