1847 Rogers Bros. “Remembrance” Silverplate Tea & Coffee Set – Rare 7-Piece with Spirit-Heated Warming Tray

This exquisite and exceptionally rare 1847 Rogers Bros. “Remembrance” tea service is a standout addition to any fine silver or antique hollowware collection.

While a 6-piece Remembrance tea set is already uncommon, this offering is elevated to an entirely different level by the inclusion of the matching spirit-heated warming tray with original alcohol burner—a piece that is extremely difficult to find, especially in near-new condition and paired with a complete matching service.

Included in This Set (7 Pieces Total):

• Teapot

• Coffeepot

• Three-piece condiment set (sugar bowl with lid, creamer, waste bowl)

• Spirit-heated warming tray with original alcohol (spirit) burner

About the Warming Tray

This piece is known as a:

• Tea Warming Stand

• Spirit-Heated Warming Tray

• Tea Service Heater / Chafing-Style Warming Stand

The tray rests above a spirit lamp (alcohol burner) that provides gentle, even heat from below—an elegant and functional centerpiece designed to keep tea and coffee service warm during formal entertaining.

Pattern & Maker

• Maker: 1847 Rogers Brothers (International Silver Company)

• Pattern: Remembrance

• Composition: Silverplate

• Era: Late 1940s

The Remembrance pattern was officially introduced around 1948 and is considered one of Rogers Brothers’ most refined mid-century hollowware designs, known for its graceful form and attention to detail.

Condition

This set is in exceptional, near-new condition:

• Used one time only and then stored for decades

Each piece was stored individually wrapped in protective plastic and kept in a temperature- and humidity-controlled vault, originally designated for fine silver. The set has only been unwrapped twice since rediscovery.

Additional Notes

This listing features the set as found, prior to polishing. Once professionally polished, updated photographs will be added. Even in its current state, the condition and shine are outstanding—polishing will only enhance its already striking appearance.
