I can't tell you if it is Victorian, but it certainly isn't a "cheap knock-off"!
thanks blunderbuss2. i think it may be modern though. it's just too clean and it has what appear to be modern screws/nuts underneath. it's still nice. sure won't blow over in a windstorm!

okay... okay... happy happy we is.
I'm with blunderbuss2 and mikie. Very pretty and practical. How often do you see THAT!? :-)
Nice looking set that I would think is modern as well.
