This charming three-piece service is in the Kang-style. The tilted form is also used in some Lucknow pieces, but the silver design and work in this set mark it as clearly Kashmiri. The teapot and creamer both have cobra handles, but the coiled-cobra finial on the teapot is a particularly nice touch, and not often seen. The interiors are gilded, which is somewhat surprising for a tea service.
