5pc Alvin Sterling Silver Coffee and Tea Service, Model S192-1:
Exceptional five-piece sterling silver coffee and tea service by Alvin Corporation, comprising a tall coffee pot, teapot, creamer, covered sugar bowl, and open waste bowl. Each piece is hand-chased in lavish relief with rococo-style scrollwork, floral sprays, and shell flourishes, characteristic of Alvin’s high-style silverwork in the early 20th century. The pots feature elegant baluster forms with paneled bodies, flared foot rims, and domed lids with finials, all finished with delicate insulating rings at the handles. All components are stamped “Alvin Sterling S192-1,” with a 2.5 pint capacity mark on the coffee pot, underscoring its substantial scale. A fine and complete set of American sterling silver, this service reflects the refinement of traditional silversmithing and hand craftsmanship at a time when quality was paramount. Each piece is solid sterling (.925), not plate, offering intrinsic as well as collectible value. Total weight 77.87 troy oz.
