A multi-component brass tea set comprised of five vessels; a tea caddy, a sugar bowl, a tea kettle with a stand, a jug, and a spoon vase, arranged from left to right, and standing on a tray. The brass of each object has a gold color and is shiny and reflective. The tea caddy has a cylindrical body and a flat base with a slightly domed lid. Two sets of engraved lines are found where the lid attaches to the body, along with a vertical hinge secured with two small rivets. In front of the tea caddy is a lidded sugar bowl, with a squat, ovoid body and a flat top, with short, rounded square handles on each side. The lid has a rounded knob and subtle engraved lines along the rim. Behind and to the right of the sugar bowl is a tea kettle, which also has a squat, ovoid-shaped body, with a short spout facing right. It has a curved, fiber wrapped, tapered handle attached to each edge, and a small circular lid with a dark, glazed, wooden, spherical finial on top. The tea kettle is placed on a three-legged stand with lipped feet, whose upper frame supports the kettle, with a recessed section underneath, and whose lower frame holds a squat, rounded, fluted glass container with a brass cover. In front of the tea kettle and to the right is a jug, with a squat, ovoid body, a pointed spout facing left, and a small, rounded handle. The jug has a shallow open top revealing a matte, silver-grey tin interior. Behind the jug and to the right is a spoon vase, with a cylindrical body, which flares slightly at the rim and tapers slightly at the base. The vessels rest on a vertical, rectangular tea tray, with a flat bottom and short edges attached at a right-angle to it, along with curved, tapered handles which are centered and attached to the right and left edges.
