* SOLD * A truly stunning antique egg cup and stand set ready to take pride of place on your dresser, sideboard, kitchen counter or window sill.
The set is silverplate and is marked WEPCo , referring to the German Wurttemberg Electroplate Company that was founded in 1853.
Six eggcups sit on top of the base which has 4 balled feet. There is a round central carry handle & either side of the handle there is hanging space for the 6 teaspoons.
The design is simple but the set is full of impact and it really is delightful.
The egg cups have a really good solid weight to them.
One of the teaspoons is slightly larger than the other 5. This may have been an error in the initial manufacturing, or simply a replacement spoon for a lost one over the years. (The difference is not particularly noticeable)
A few of the bases of the egg cups are slightly dented but they still fit and sit neatly on to their individual areas on the base.
Given the age of this piece it is in very good condition & fully fit for purpose.
There is some tarnishing to the silver plate but as a whole the item is clean, shiny and charming.
Delightful.
