I believe this is a silver plate on copper set. The silver plate is heavy and free from scratches and wear. I believe the parakeet on the creamer is a blue lapis and the two on the sugar are green malachite. The one parakeet on the sugar has an obvious piece missing on the wing. Each has a little chipping on the top of the heads. The blue lapis on the creamer’s parakeet is in very good condition, however I believe the eyes may be missing. Each piece is marked Los Castillo Taxco TA-01. The creamer has additional numbers of 383 and 10. Please be your own final judge of the set and it’s exact age. Dimensions: (creamer) measures 7&1/2″ tall, 4″ wide from the spout to back of parakeet, bottom is 2&1/2″ wide, the (sugar) bowl measures 6&1/2″ from back of parakeet to back of parakeet, across the top is 2&1/8″, across bottom is 2&1/2″, the (spoon) is 5&7/8″ long by 1&1/4″ wide across the bowl.
