In addition, set comes w/six 2" tall handled cups w/image of Red Riding Hood. As well as Red Riding Hood images, pieces feature nice Art Nouveau framing embellishments. Other pieces in set include 1.5" tall open creamer, 3" tall teapot w/lid and 2.25" dia. open sugar. Pieces show scattered aging/wear to silver flashing, w/some scattered small nicks scratches. Fine overall. Box shows heavy and obvious wear w/corner split and several tears to side of lid. Good.
