Antique Victorian Tufts Silver Plate Griffin Creamer Pitcher 2219

Description

A beautiful example of Victorian silverplate by James W. Tufts.  This creamer has significant wear to the silver plate and a dent near the base as shown in the photographs.  Sits well on base; the edge of the base is rough on edge. While you might not still use it on your table, it would still make a lovely vase for a flower arrangement.  The handle is decorated with a winged griffin, the spout with a face, and the bulged area at the base of the creamer is engraved with a floral design.  As I have made condition notations, this is being sold "as is."
