This silver plate quaint travel tea set has a remarkably handy design
Consisting of a tea pot, a separate bar-like handle, sugar bowl, tea strainer and collapsible burner
All items fit inside the tea pot which in turn fits in a black shagreen leather casing
The design is very characteristic for Christopher Dresser who, after a visit to Japan, flew in the face of the current fashion and thought up extremely simple forms
