The set includes three different teapots, two sugar bowls, a creamer, and a teapot stand with warmer. Maker's marks read: "E.PN.S. / Made in England." In overall very good to fine condition, with various dings, scuffs, and some tarnishing.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
