Thanks, Kenneth, I've adjusted this. If it still needs a bit of tweaking let me know. Otherwise, you're all set.
Delia: Are you able to date this set using the series number and name?
Sorry, disregard the last question. I just re-read the appraisal including the approximate dates.
Thank you.
Delia: My apologies, each service is 7 pieces. (I mistakenly counted saucers from a lefton tea service). I have added more photos of the complete service as well as the platters (1 each large and small) and gravy boat.
