What is a good price for a silver-plated tea set?

Prices for silver-plated tea sets can vary greatly depending on factors such as size, brand and style. As of 2016, silver dealers such as Replacements, LTD offer silver-plated tea sets that range from a five-piece Hollowware set for about $379 to a six-piece set for over $1,100.

The price of a silver-plated tea set can also depend on location. A set purchased used at a local garage sale, for instance, may cost less than a new set purchased online or from a retail outlet. Popular brands such as International Silver, Reed & Barton or Wallace generally cost more than off-brand silver sets, as well.
