A wonderful little fact we found about Charles, was that he was a well known and accomplished bell ringer in the city of Sheffield; he practiced his art for over 50 years at the cathedral church and was known as Yorkshire's oldest bell ringer!

Year of manufacture:
c. 1890-1900
Designer:
Charles Henry Hattersley
Origin:
England
Approx. Measurements:
Tea/Coffee Pot: 21cm H / 26 cm at widest point with handle and spout
Sugar Basin: 10cm H / 26 cm at widest point with handles
Creamer Jug: 9cm H / 13.5cm cm at widest point with handle and spout
Condition
All three pieces are in very good antique condition and have been clearly very well cared for in their long lives. They all though show (in our opinion) beautiful wear to their silver plated finish, from use and polishing, allowing their darker base metal to shine through leaving a rich and very honest patina. Please study all images carefully using Etsy's zoom facility to ensure you are happy with the set's 'lived in' condition prior to purchase.
They all come free of large dents, 'dinks', or heavy scratches, with only light surface marks visible. The creamer jug has a small amount of wear to its spout, on its inner lip. All pieces have dark oxidized interiors and due to their age and alloy construction we suggest that they are used for decorative use only.

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.
Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
