Cup and saucer c. 1875

This miniature silver tea set, created by James Tuff around 1875, is an example of decorative arts. It features a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, and four cups and saucers, each with a delicate design and a lustrous finish. The set, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the Victorian era and the enduring appeal of traditional tea time rituals.
