This is a spectacular coffee and tea set by German/American manufacturer Ernst Treusch. Set is hand forged, impressed on bottom "hand geschmiedet". Complete with coffee pot, tea pot, footed cream pitcher and footed sugar bowl with lid, all sitting nicely on the matching tray. Handles and lid finials appear to be carved bone or other natural material. Overall approx weight of 3634g. Ernst Treusch was born in Hanau Germany in 1907. In 1929, he and his family departed Germany and arrived in New York where he became a naturalized citizen. By trade, he was a silversmith but served as a PFC in the US Army during WWII, 1943-45. He stayed in New York after his military service and passed in 1959. Fabulous piece.

Set is in great condition with typical signs of light use. Chip in top handle half of one of the bowls and both handles on the coffee pot and tea pot are loose but firmly attached.
