A silver plated tea service is a prized possession for any household. Typically used only for special occasions, the set is usually presented on a silver tray. Aside from the tray the tea service should include a tea pot, cream pot, and sugar bowl. Teaspoons and some sort of sugar utensil should be included in an actual tea service, although these are often a separate set of valued silver
. pieces in and of themselves. For some beautiful examples of silver plate tea services visit http://www.silverqueen.com/HollowWare/teassetsSilverplated.asp.
