This is a wonderful original Victorian Teaset which is very elaborate. It has clear Maker's marks for John Round & Son and is beautifully worked. It is a two piece set.
History: The firm was established by John Round in Sheffield in 1847 as a small familiar workshop attached to his house in Tudor Street. The business proved successful and the firm in partnership with his son Edwin went under the title of John Round & Son. In 1874 the firm became John Round & Son Ltd and in 1886 the business of Ridge, Allcard & Co (Lions Works, Eyre Lane) was amalgamated and John Ridge became the manager.
