A late George III Irish silver matched three piece tea service, each of compressed circular form with engraved family crest above a lobed lower body, the teapot and matching cream jug having an applied gadroon rim interspersed with foliate shell motifs and raised on a spread foot also with lobed border, the twin-handled sugar bowl with a slightly differing gadroon and foliate rim and standing on a plain foot rim. Teapot and cream jug hallmarked James Fray, Dublin 1816, sugar bowl hallmarked James Scott, Dublin 1814. Maximum length of teapot measuring 11 inches (28 cm), gross weight 40.51 ozt (1260 grams).

All three pieces display some tarnishing/staining and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with the age and use. Several dints and bumps. Some damage to the metal around the edge of the teapot spout. The hinged lid is also very loose as there is some damage to the hinges. Also some damage to fixing pins of handle. Some likely repairs. On the sugar bowl there is an oval patch just below the rim, either a repair or engraving removal Engraved crests are very rubbed and worn. Some slight distortion but hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
