This is a 19th century, estimated 1885-1900, Chinese tea set - charger, milk and sugar. The teapot has been lost in the gap of time ...a great pity because the antique Swatow pewter is becoming very rare and is highly prized by collectors.
It is marked with 3 Chinese characters and KUT HING PEWTER SWATOW.
This set is in EXCELLENT condition, considering it's age! It has scratches and small nicks, slight bulges and the tray is a bit uneven at the edge - which can be remedied easily if one is so inclined.
