Mid-century Reed & Barton Hampton Court sterling silver tea and coffee service, model #663, dating to the 1940s and crafted in the refined shield-form design that defines this celebrated pattern. This exceptional seven-piece service highlights Reed & Barton’s mastery of elegant mid-century silversmithing, featuring graceful contours, balanced proportions, and subtly raised decorative elements that give the Hampton Court pattern its timeless presence. Each piece bears the maker’s mark undersigned and the pattern number 663, and the entire set remains in great condition with only minor wear consistent with age and use.
